SMB share question

Post by eibyerxs »

I've been playing around with a new xigmanas install. I created my first SMB share called plesk_media. I connected to this share and created two folders Test and Test2 but when I browse the share using the File Manager I do not see the share name plesk_media, I do see the two folders I created within it. Is that how SMB shares work? They don't show as a folder?

yes, the above is true if you created a share named plesk_media with /mnt/pool_1 as its physical location.

Thanks for the confirmation. Still trying to grasp the concept.

you need to create share under /mnt/yourpool/ like /mnt/yourpool/plesk_media.


best way to do is to create a dataset on /mnt/yourpool
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)

I created the dataset as you suggested and now it looks more like what I was expecting.
