different shares map to same data

[matlock]

Hey all-
I've been trying to figure this out- not certain what im missing-

I'm creating a cifs share named data and the path is /mnt/[volume name]

on my win7x32 machine- i can map a drive \\freenas\data- I put a test file here, data_test.txt

I go back to freenas create a new share named pictures and the path is /mnt/[volume name]

on my win7x32 machine - i map a drive \\freenas\pictures- and i'm expecting an empty folder, but it has my data_test.txt file in it.

Whats happening, and what am i missing?

Thanks-
Matlock

It sounds like what you need to do is create your two directories in your pool, for example, say you have a pool with the name tank (who doesn't?)
your mount point would be /mnt/tank
you want to create a data folder (volume), this will exist as /mnt/tank/data
you want to create a pictures folder (volume), this will exist as /mnt/tank/pictures
when you assign them to cifs, you would pick /mnt/tank/data or /mnt/tank/pictures

they should be accessible as \\freenas\data or \\freenas\pictures.

Not sure if this was the right way to go- but I created data sheets - this seems to have resolved the issue.

Now I'm trying to figure out permissioning. But that's a different thread.

Thanks for the help

Hi Matlock, When you said that you created data sheets, did you mean datasets? As in Create ZFS Dataset?

 

[matlock]

Medlinwsp2m- you are correct, the term i should have used is Create ZFS Dataset, not data sheets.
apologies for any confusion.

Thanks, Even though the term was incorrect, your post helped me solve my problem.

I don't. My pool name is data.
