SMB Share

[Tim Curtis]

Ok so /dev/nvme0n1p2 is mounted to / (root directory)

Code:

/dev/nvme0n1p2 on / type ext4

- In the "Locally Attached Drives" section of Library Config click "MOUNT NVMe drive".
- If /dev/nvme0n1p2 is listed in the dropdown select it, give it a Name and then SAVE.

If the mount was successful (green check mark back on Library Config), you should see "Name" when you browse for shares from another host.

On this topic, I noticed that when I updated to the latest version 9.3.5 the "NAS" share is no longer showing up in SMB.  This was a folder on my SD Card previously that I was using to dump unrelated files to pass between different computers. Was the behavior changed with the addition of additional mounts and NVMe support?

Running on a Pi 4, 4GB, SD Card booting with no other HAT addons.  I can see Playlists and SDCard just fine, and plugging in a USB drive auto mounts and adds the share to SMB just fine.   I tried toggling SMB share in System, and updating library from main screen.

Edit:  I connected via SSH and confirmed the location, the folder and all files are still there and assessible in /mnt/NAS

Yes, the root folders NAS and NVME under /mnt aren't exposed anymore as SMB share/mount points anymore because they don't reflect the max size of the actual share point directory or drive mount but rather the max size of the rootfs partition containing the /mnt directory.

As an example let's say your boot media is a 32GB SDCard with a 256MB bootfs partition and ~30GB rootfs partition. If your NAS share directory or NVMe drive is 1TB the /mnt/NAS or /mnt/NVME directories will only show 30GB max size instead of the actual 1TB size.

This has caused issues when trying to copy > rootfs size of files to those directories.

In your case just use the SDCARD dir.

Thanks for confirming Tim.  I just moved the contents of the NAS to the SDCard folder and everything is accessible again.  And you're right, I never noticed but now I can see the total capacity and used space of the SDCard share when it's mounted as a network drive in Windows.
