After mapping my drive in Windows 10, the drive appears but I'm unable to view any files

SynesthesiaBruh · 10. Juni 2016

Ok so I basically followed this guide (with the exception of the Raid part, I'm only using a single drive):

I'm using OMV 2.1 btw.

I have a single GUID NTFS 6TB HDD I had installed on my gaming PC that I have all my movies/tv/docs on. After mounting the drive in my NAS, installing/configuring OMV, and mapping the drive in Windows (using my "Matt" credentials with read/write access), I am able to see the drive, however I can't actually view any files:

Here are all my settings that I think are relevant:
Gaming Computer's Workgroup:

User Access Rights:

SMB/CIFS:

File Systems:

My only assumption is that something is pointing to the wrong location as SMB/CIFS settings should be fine as I'm able to connect and permissions are simple enough. I'm new to linux/unix/NAS, so I really am not sure where I'm going wrong. Also, the NAS is wired in directly to my router and my gaming computer's IP is "allowed".

your fault: you can't use NTFS drive in OMV except to copy files for backup pourpouses.

You need to format as Ext4.

I'm just latching on to this, since I have a similar issue. I want to use my previously formatted NTFS volume on a hdd as a NAS drive, the mapping works, but the share looks empty under Windows 10.

Does the quoted statement mean, that NTFS volumes are generally unusable as a NAS disk in OMV or is it a matter of setting the correct permissions?

mean that OMV is based on Debian ( Linux), so NTFS is not native filesystem, use Ext4 or XFS or ZFS instead.

Guys

I have similar problem, but the Win 10 cannot see the device.

I am totally confused....if it is "supposed" to creat a NAS and most of the world has PC that (I am assuming) uses NTFS. How will my windows system work??? My attached HDD is normal files so I thought normal NTFS.

So if OMV is no good for NTFS that will put 90% of the work out....so what is OWV good for?

So what do we use????

Also where is the email me when there is a reply button????

I am a little tired as I have been trying to make a NAS from my Raspberry Pi for months.....

I suppose it is back to the drawign board????

You are confused.

Your internal Disk on your PC must be NTFS, but you need to format your internal HD on NAS using ext4 taht is the supported Filesystem

How do you see your data in your NAS = by SAMBA / SMB = By share your data using common protocols.

Your NAS = OMV is designed to have a boot disk ( formatted in ext4 when you do your installl), and several data disk that you need to share on your LAN using SAMBA / SMB/NFS and other LAN protocols.

Please google a bit about NAS: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/…namiento_conectado_en_red
