            Change root password as well    ☑

        Add Windows (CIFS) Share
            Name                tank
            Path                /mnt/tank
            Export Recycle Bin    ☑
            OK
 
Reboot


I was unable to directly upgrade to 9.2.1.2, so I simply repeated the following steps and I could no longer access my windows share. Not even a login request, just insufficient permission. I was only able to make it work by enabling guests, but I don't want to make it so anyone can access the files on my network.

How would I create a simple mirror with NO data sets and just "tank" which requires "root" plus "verylongpassword" to access and copy a bunch of directories onto? Nothing fancy, as I'm the ONLY user....Has root been disabled as a Windows share "user"? It use to work, but not anymore... I understand "admin" was removed... I use it only for redundant/working storage for important files I already have locked a copy away onto USB drives...

Any help on this simple yet frustratingly difficult to make work Windows share is greatly appreciated!

Change the root user's home directory to the volume to be shared and make sure that volume name is used in the CIFS share.
