Change Music share from /data/Music to /home/musik
I have stored all my music in /home/musik, which e.g. works well for Logitech Media Server, which I simply point at that directory. However, the default SMB/DLNA share named "Music" points at /data/...
Normally /home is for "private" shares. If you didn't create a musik user on the NAS, then you did something wrong by manually creating that folder.
You could copy the files in /home/music into Music, and then remove musik - either by deleting the user (if you created one) or deleting the folder (if you didn't). After /home/musik is gone, you could rename the share to musik if you wish.
Then reconfigure LMS to point to the share.
It was a careful decision, and I do also have a user called "musik" (which is the Danish spelling for music...). I also NFS export /home to a few other systems that automount them and there, I set the umask for the musik user to 0002, again a careful decision. Whenever I add music to my collection, I do it from my laptop running Linux, which automounts the whole /home directory with my real user home directories, one of which is "musik". An additional benefit of everything in /home is that my cloud backup just needs to deal with one directory, namely /home.
So therefore, I truly would like to have the SAMBA/DLNA share that externally is "Music" have its contents in /home/musik. Will making /data/Music be a symbolic link to /home/musik do it? Are there other ways? As /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf gets overwritten at boot, where is the contents really saved?
Home is a system folder.
You can't point the dlna to the home share.
to change the (other) dlna shares you simply need to go to os6 admin page
shares > mouse over the share you wish to set > click the gear icon > settings > network access > click dlna > enable the content types you want enabled for that share.
/home is a directory just like any other directory, and I NFS export it to other systems where I (manually rather than via e.g. NIS) have the same user and group id's, and having everything created by anybody and for any purpose under /home simplifies things a lot. Just one example is backup's, where all I need to care about is /home. Scattering things that users created into various places (like Windows does) only complicates things. So please, how do I achieve this?
