I have a HP Microserver with 4 x 2TB HDDs (which I intend to configure in RAIDZ2 format for a ~3.6TB zpool), and an external eSATA 4TB 'backup' drive (to which I intend to run nightly/weekly replications of said zpool). The machine will be deployed as a central NAS as part of a home network consisting of (mostly) Windows client machines.
The hardware and initial installation of FreeNAS was very straightforward, but I've now come a bit unstuck at the sharing configuration stage. My intended share setup was as follows:
But is it possible to have both anonymous (for the Music/Video shares), and authenticated shares running at the same time? Because when configuring the CIFS service in the GUI, I am only able to choose EITHER 'Anonymous' OR 'Local User'. I can't figure out how to have both running simultaneously.
The hardware and initial installation of FreeNAS was very straightforward, but I've now come a bit unstuck at the sharing configuration stage. My intended share setup was as follows:
- Read-only 'Music' and 'Video' folders, which are available to everyone on the network, WITHOUT requiring username/pass credentials (for ease of access with portable devices, media players etc)
- Then a series of 'personal' directories for my documents, backups, etc. These directories would require authentication to access, but I would also like read/write access to the aforementioned Music and Video folders, so that I am able to add new content.
