Ciao, l'articolo che hai postato spiega come accedere a una cartella condivisa, via SMB, su Windows.
Nel tuo caso, vuoi accedere da Windows a una cartella sul NAS; la richiesta di credenziali non dipende da Windows, ma dal NAS.

Crea sul NAS un utente (con password), associalo alla cartella condivisa e, quando Windows ti chiede le credenziali, inserisci quelle.

Ciao ti ringrazio.

in realtà ho già degli utenti con permessi su determinate cartelle ma volevo comunque sfogliare il nas senza dover necessariamente effettuare il login (è presente una cartella pubblica accessibile a tutti).

Comunque il problema mi si presenta soltanto su Windows 11.

Hi, I followed this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/it…nd-smb3?tabs=group-policy

but I still can't connect to the NAS, are there any settings I need to check in the UI?

I understood the problem. It already has a connection, I put .bat file with "net use Z: \\gastown\public" in automatic execution.

So I would have to terminate that connection first to be able to connect to another folder. But I put that .bat file specifically to facilitate the use of the NAS. Should I take it off now? Is there an alternative solution?

Hi, although I have correctly configured the permissions of the shared folders, on my PC I can access the folder with the credentials of the user who has read/write access and instead on another PC it gives me the following message of which I attach the screenshot.

use backup described here: https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…v7:utilities_maint_backup

or here: [How to] Migrate/Restore OMV Settings to Another System with omv-regen

Does rsync allow you to backup folder permissions? Does it also save samba shares?

**Error Code 187**: This error signifies an unexpected power loss or a power loss event that the hard drive has detected. It's an indication that the drive has encountered a sudden power interruption.

I have no idea what I can do to stop the problem. Maybe I shouldn't keep the NAS on all day? How can I avoid a power loss? Is the power supply that is not working well?

Other common cuase is excess of Temperature, are your disk well airflow?

there is dust, not directly on the hdd but in the fan and the cpu heatsink.

on BTRFS disk, you can create shares that are in fact a new subvolume so you can do snapshot that do not fill space on disk, you can do snapshot daily, hourly, etc. in my case that I use data disk for series & Videos, I do weekely snapshots

it's happening again, the hdd is breaking, then I want to understand the reason because this is the second hdd that has broken.

I don't want to start from scratch to create folders, permissions and shares so I'm asking you please for a method that saves all the configuration in a place external to my NAS.

This is the attribute reported as Bad: Device is being used outside design parameters.

gderf Does it work with BTRFS filesystems?

Quote from gderf

Use chown to set the owner. Use chattr to set the immutable bit to prevent anyone from modifying the file.

Thanks for the tip, do you mean from SSH?

Could you give me more info on how to set up the user? Or is it enough to just create it?

Hi, what is the best practice to adopt to apply an icon to the NAS network mapping.

For example in windows, with the command:

net use Z: \\nas\public

I mapped this network resource. I would like a custom icon to be displayed instead of the default icon. The .ico file is ok and I also created the desktop.ini file and I placed them both inside the "public" folder but the icon that appears is always the default one. Maybe there is a best practice?

Hi, inside a public shared folder, i.e. to which everyone has access and everyone can write, is it possible to create a file that no one can modify or delete? Which user could I create the file with so that it becomes the owner? I hope it's possible, thanks.

Thank you, I understand. What if I want to prevent the password change?

Hi, is there the possibility for users to set their own password or reset it in case of loss? Does the initial password have to be created by the OMV administrator?

Hi, I would like to manage the shares in this way: create a main public folder (accessible and writable by anyone) which contains all the other folders which are subject to the permissions of the various users. These must be visible to anyone but to enter (double-click) it must show the prompt requesting access credentials. Is it possible? How can I proceed?

raulfg3 sorry, I solved it, I first had to delete all the samba shares, then all the shared folders and then I was able to unmount the filesystem. Can I create a new filesystem now or do I have to delete/adjust something else?

I'm noticing something, is it possible that OMV exchanges the names of the disks, i.e. /dev/sda with /dev/sdb?

raulfg3 I'm having trouble deleting the missing filesystem and recreating the new one.

there is no button to delete it and when I click on edit I get this error:

Errore
fsname: The value "" does not match exactly one schema of [{"type":"string","format":"fsuuid"},{"type":"string","format":"devicefile"},{"type":"string","format":"dirpath"}].

however, if I try to create a new filesystem, it doesn't let me select a device or rather, there is no device:

Thanks. What does shares that are in fact mean? Where are these snapshots saved?

Quote from raulfg3

not possible, you need to recreate one at a time on the new HHD.

And be carefull to delete old shares to avoid problems.

Thank you, then I delete all shared folders and all samba shares.

Do I recreate from UI again? Or is there a faster way, similar to csv for users?

Also, if the hdd breaks again, is there a way to save a sort of backup of the folders with the related permissions and samba shares?

Which filesystem do you recommend to avoid stress to the data hdd?

so I mounted a new hdd and I'm wiping it. Now what should I do to avoid losing the shared folders with the relative permissions that I had created on the broken HDD?
