Sharing whole C volume

The "admin" (Frontview) user can access the entire C volume but this is only intended to be used for admin tasks.

Access for ordinary shares is set on a share by share basis.

Okay too bad. And is it possible to create a share whose root folder is in a specific path ? As I used to do with my Videos share pointing to Volume_1/Medias/Videos ?

If you create a "Videos" share it would point to e.g. /c/Videos. You can't create a share that points to say /c/Media/Videos though you can have a Videos folder in a Media share.

This is kind of sad, I'm starting to wonder if I would this is really the good NAS I was looking for :/ but let's be optimistic, try and see !
Thank you for your answers

System must be consistent, implementing every feature you can imagine may leads to unstable behaviour or confuse other users.

But if you realy need it don't be sad use SSH :-) it's Debian Linux and great piece of hardware for good price.
That's why I bought ReadyNAS :-)

I agree this may not always be easy for any user to understand every features, and to be faire I love the NAS (except the design of the frontview pages maybe ;) ) but I will truly miss accessing the whole drive itself.
I already ssh'd into the system and I am trying to make an addon for forked-daapd, and active C volume access via AFP/CIFS on demand.

You can access the entire drive, you just need to log in as Admin.

There's already CIFS access to Volume C as the "admin" user.

As for enabling AFP access to Volume C here's how you'd do it: http://sphardy.com/web/readynas/enabling-admin-access-to-the-c-volume-over-afp/

This is working but I also found another solution.

Since I don't care what my home folder is, I set it in /etc/passwd to /c so that my account can access the /c volume.

I'm not sure if this is your solution but for me this is working

I make one share and cal it "HomeNAS"
in home nas i have one directory called DriveC, and under i have several directories, like TV, Video, Pictures, Documents Child 1, Cild 2, Wife, etc

Setting permissions is not so good, because i have not found if its possible to give different access to a directory per user, ie TV read only for all, Documents Child 1 R/W.
If anybody know how to do this pleas inform me :-)

But what is nice is that i can mount all NAS in one drive on my PC, i map DriveC to N:, and of course i can mount t: to DriveC/TV and so on, this i do the children's computers like P: mount to DriveC/Child1. I find this better than home directories due to a simpler backup to ie jottacloud.no (they only allow one share - Like my N: drive - to be backed up and this way i backup all data from one share)
