When I open either parent folders - HUB (the name I gave it) or Samba Shares on Hub - it shows that I am connected as Guest, with the option to Connect As, which asks for a name & password. The osmc name & password I setup to connect via ssh doesn’t work.
When I open either osmc folders I get the error: The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “osmc” can’t be found.
It’s obvious I’m sure that I’m new to this so any help here would be much appreciated.
Also, why do I have a question mark for an icon on HUB?
Great, thanks fzinken. osmc is now mounted as a network share. All I’m seeing though is 4 empty folders: Movies, Music, Pictures & TV Shows. Is there a way I can see the external drive in order to manage its contents from the iMac?
Your one level too far down. Attached drives are by default mounted as separate shares from the home folder. Your looking in smb://[vero]/osmc/ when you are trying to get to smb://[vero]/[drive name]/
They should be shared automatically, if you let the system automount the drive. If you have made a manual mount, you also have to make a manual share in smb-local.conf.
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb-local.conf
[usb-drive]
browsable = yes
read only = no
valid users = osmc
path = [enter the path you mounted the drive to]
comment = This is the USB-drive
Of course, like ooZee say, the bit after the command that i posted you have to enter into the new file you created with nano (a texteditor), so copy/paste the text i posted after that command: th “[USB-drive]” is name of the share, how you want it to be shown when you access the vero4k+ fileshaareing service from your mac.
so you could go with [Video-drive] or [JoakimHelpedMe] =)
the second “[” “]” text i wrote in my example is for you to replace. with /mnt/4tbdrive or what ever the path in vero4k+ filesystem to your drive.
The way I wrote my last post was, for a person that has manually mounted a drive on the vero, usually are experienced enough to grab the information i provided and use it as i meant. But I clearly didn’t explain good enough, will try to give better instructions next time.
So I filled the 4TB HD I used, now have a 6TB drive which I had issues formatting. I think it’s correct. As per previous I just want it to be 1 partition formatted as EXT4. And I can’t access it on the network from my iMac.
To be honest, I bought this device expecting it to be plug & play & wasn’t expecting to have to do so much terminal stuff to get it up & running. I really just want it to work now. So any assistance to get this happening would be much appreciated.
fzinken, as per your previous suggestion I’ve uploaded the logs.
I assume I share the link here? I’ll reply with it if that’s the case.
I don’t understand what you mean by “using the automount”. Again my apologies for not understanding a lot of stuff here, I’m trying as hard as I can…
so any help here would be much appreciated.
