Hey,

Very new to this.
I have a small computer running Freenas 9.10.

I aim to use it as my software hub for sab/hydra/plex etc.
Just to keep my gaming desktop clean.

However, my gaming desktop has a large case and fits 9+ HDD's.
So most of my storage is inside this other computer.

What I aim to do is get Freenas to read/write over the network to those other drives. I believe for it to do that, we need to mount the drives within Freenas (as NTFS if possible, can reformat if necessary).

Have enabled SMB, FTP.
So I have shared all the drives; eg. my Z drive is at:
\\Pc\z

Freenas IP is 192.168.91.148
Gaming PC is 192.168.91.9

Done a lot of research, but have been unable to get the examples to work. Always "operation not permitted".

Any advice is very welcome.

Thanks

You don't mount drives to freenas. You are trying to solve your problem the wrong way. What is your goal?

I have another PC with lots of storage attached via SATA.
I was hoping to use those drives as well so that I have extra storage capabilities.
I thought if I could mount the Samba shared drive, I could then use my other PC for storage.

Essentially I need sabnzbd to be able to read/write data from a shared HDD stored inside another PC.
Along with sonarr/plex etc.
