I want to know how I can prevent the mount points I have defined in the fstba file from automatically appearing as a samba resource. I have three disks manually defined in fstab that are mounted with the uuid, for example, mnt/B28AAAFE8AAABE6B. In the smb.conf I define the resources as “path = /mnt/B28AAAFE8AAAABE6B/Movies”. When I enter the Samba share from Windows I see the folders Movies and B28AAAFE8AAABE6B, which are really the same disk. I would like to be able to see only Movies as I had for example in the Dietpi distribution. Thanks!
It’s probably because the drives are being automounted and mounted via fstab, so they mount twice.
Verify that with:
mount
Instead of mounting with a UUID, add a label to the partition(s), remove the fstab entries and reboot. See if things show up better that way.
I’m pretty crazy about the way Osmc works with automount of the disks. In any linux distribution I define the mount point in fstab and then configure any folder of that mount point as a resource in Samba with its access permissions, creating both read and write users. With this way that Osmc has to automount the disks what I get is to have duplicate the resource in Samba, one with Samba permissions that I have defined in the smb.conf, for example reading permissions, but if I access by automount resorce I do not respect those permissions and I can create and delete files. Is it possible to disable automount and be able to do all the manual process?
I’ve tried deleting fstab content, but I still get duplicate resources. Logically when accessing does not appear content because the mount point is no longer defined in fstab.
Remove from /etc/samba/smb.conf everything from the [automount template] section. But be warned this might be overwritten by an update
This is the content of my smb.conf, where what you comment is apparently deactivated. The configuration of Samba is defined in the smb-local.conf, which is the same as smb.conf but with the added shared resources.

include = /etc/samba/smb-shares.confWhy do you think it is deactivated?
At least in the file you have copied here it is not deactivated
I’ll tell you, the lines that appear in black highlighted is because it has the symbol of bracket in front of it, that symbol what it does is to disable that line of the file. But as it seems when you make copy paste the forum interprets that symbol as black highlighted, I don’t know if you understand me.
I have removed the part of [automount template] but when I restart I still appear both the resource with the uuid and the resource defined in Samba of the same automount disk.
I’ve edited your post to make the config file more readable.
Thanks, I didn’t know how to do it so it wouldn’t show up in highlighted black.

Is there anything inside the smb-shares.conf file?
Solved, I generated the mount points in /media and I already appear correctly Samba shares. Apparently all the directories that you generate in /mnt osmc automatically mount them in Samba, but in /media this does not happen.
