Unraid Delete Share

  • Either use a file browser like krusader to delete the whole folder or empty the contents and then remove the share via the UI. Both do the same job. Level 2 Original Poster1 point 10 months ago.
  • Unassigned Devices is used to mount and share non-array disks, remote SMB/ NFS shares, and iso files and it is compatible with any Unraid 6 release. You can also mount a UNC share on another system (SMB or NFS) and have it show in Unraid shares when browsing with Windows. This is called a Remote Share.

The Unraid USB Flash Creator: The Unraid USB Flash Creator tool is an open source program digitally signed by Lime Technology, Inc. Using this program, you can easily convert almost any USB flash device into an Unraid boot device. Nov 27, 2018 The user shares are just the aggregate of all top level folders on cache or array, so any top level folder on cache or any array disk is automatically a user share named for the folder. If there isn't a specific.cfg file for a particular user share in config/shares, that user share will have default settings, but it will still be a user share. Jan 06, 2018 Default unRaid permissions on shares are 'Public' - anyone has RW access to the files. Then there's also Secure, and Private. You create users (easiest if they match the Windows login name) and assign them appropriate permissions to each share. Assumes of course that the linux permissions on the files themselves are correct.

Consider Using Device Encryption

We recommend using xfs encryption for array disks and btrfs encryption for the cache pool. It is highly recommended that you encrypt before writing data to your server because if you want to convert to encrypted later, you will have to remove all of your data off, reformat all of your drives and then move all of your data back on. Not fun. Use a strong encryption passphrase and make sure to not forget it. If forgotten, there is no way for anyone to be able to recover your encrypted data! Also, be sure to view your passphrase and check to make sure your phrase decrypts drives before transferring data over to your array initially.

Important Note on Passphrases: Enter a passphrase of up to 512 characters. It is highly advisable to only use the 95 printable characters from the first 128 characters of the ASCII table, as they will always have the same binary representation. Other characters may have different encoding depending on system configuration and your passphrase will not work with a different encoding. If you want a longer passphrase or to include binary data, upload a keyfile instead.

Restrict Share Access

After ensuring your root password is strong, it is best to create other Users on your Unraid server and to set the appropriate shares access. If particular users don't need write access, make them read only. Users can be created under the 'Users' tab and Share and SMB security settings can be accessed by clicking on each individual user share under the 'Shares' tab.

unRAID has long had the capability to integrate itself into Active Directory for centralized permission and user management but this process has never been fully documented. After lots of searching around on the forums and PMing a few users I’ve consolidated my findings into this post. I am also assuming you already have a Window Server setup with: DNS and Active Directory (AD) roles, and a functioning domain.

How To Remove Dll File

Overview

  • Setup unRAID network settings
  • Join unRAID to an active domain
  • Create groups in domain for centralized management
  • Set permissions on files

Network Settings

unRAID needs to be pointed at your Windows Server that runs DNS and AD. This is done through the unRAID WebGUI under Settings -> Network Settings . Update the DNS Server 1 box with the IP Address of your DNS server.

Join to Domain

Motorola end user 32 bits. Now that we have DNS setup we can join unRAID to the domain. Stop the array so that we can change the SMB settings to AD from the Main page. Next, in the unRAID WebGUI navigate to Settings -> SMB and change the dropdown to (Yes – Active Directory) and press “Apply”.

Next we will go to the Active Directory Settings tab in that same page. I am using the Microsoft domain info, change to your domain info.

  • AD domain name (FQDN): CONTOSO.COM
  • AD short domain name: CONTOSO
  • AD account login:
  • AD account password:

Press Join and you should see the text change from “Not Joined” to “Joined”.

  • AD initial user:
  • AD initial group:

I used my everyday AD login account as the initial owner and Domain Admin as the initial group (I know thats lazy) and press Apply.

Unraid Delete Share

Go ahead and start the array. The default permissions are now that all Domain Users have RW access to every file, we will update that in the next step.

Create Groups in AD

Unraid Delete Shares

From the recommendation of Korpo53 on the unRAID forums we are going to make an AD Group for RO (Read Only) and RW (Read/Write) for every share on unRAID so that you can manage everything in AD without changing file permissions every time. You can see my naming scheme of to the right. I chose to do UNRAID--

File Permissions

Now comes the part that had me confused for the longest time. I assumed you would be able to set permissions for users and groups directly in the unRAID WebGUI. You cannot. You need to set the permissions through a Windows machine that is logged in with your “initial owner” AD account that we set when unRAID joined the domain.

  1. Use file explorer to view all of your unRAID shares (IE TOWER or 192.168.1.2)
  2. Right click on the first share and go to properties
  3. Press “Edit”, then Add. Add the RW and RO for the share you are editing and give “Full Control” to the RW account. By default the RO user should only have the rights for read only.
  4. Now we need to remove the default unRAID permissions and apply to all child items. Click “Advanced”
  5. Remove the “Everyone” and “Domain Users” that have “Full Control” and click the “Replace all child object permission entries” and press “Apply”.
  6. Repeat this process for every one of your shares, adding the correct groups.
  7. NOTE: If any of the permissions break and you lose access to your files you can run New Permissions from the Tools menu in the unRAID WebGUI to reset all permissions.
  8. Now you can remove/add users to each AD group for the permissions that you want.

As with any AD permission changes you may need to log-out/log-in as that user to get the updated permissions.
