Hi, I have a DNS set up as RAID 1, which shows up as Volume_1 on all my machines.
I created a second user profile on my MacBook...but when I navigate to the same volume from that profile, it appears in the path as Volume_1-1. I don't see that share anywhere else. When I go back to my original profile, I just see Volume_1 as usual, and no duplicate. Why is the second profile on my laptop seeing a Volume_1-1 for the same exact share? I'm very confused...
Other than that, performance is completely unaffected.

When you create a second share, it can't have the same name as the another one, so they create a new name.
-
Even though they're reading the same information? I mean, it's a network resource...just two different accounts reading the same files.
To rephrase: is there any other way I can work this to where two usernames access the same resource and it is the same exact path?
-
Yep, even though it's the same information. Create another share for the same folder and it'll rename it to yet another unique name. :)
-
This is a limitation of the current Samba version.

Ok, fair enough. As long as it's not creating duplicates and halving my storage space, I guess I'm ok with it. At least I know it's not me doing something stupid for once. Sounds like I can keep using it as is with _1 and _1-1 and I'll be ok.
Thanks everyone again for your help! ;D

Just create a single share and have it accessible by a group containg your two users?
