Ok ... so my lack of knowledge of linux is shining thorough. I assigned my username to full r/w permission on Volume_1 (Raid 1) thinking that would give myself for admin rights to everything listed below Volume_1. Then I created 4 folders, FAMILY, BT, ITUNES, PRIVATE.
I go to Network on my windows machine and I see ALL the folders to include "Volume_1" (without mapping to anything yet). I go to map to volume_1 and of course it allows me. I log out and log back in; go to network, see all the folders again and try to map to one of the sub folders ... permission denied.
A couple questions.
1) Why can I see the "root" (Volume_1) when I go to the network tab (not being mapped to it).
2) Why can't I map directly to any of the subfolders under Volume_1?
My intent here was
a) Nothing should be visible from the "network" tab except the name of the DNS I assigned it. I do not want anyone knowing there is a share called "Volume_1", nor any of the sub (child) folders.
b) Have the child folders inherit the permissions given on any parent folder.
Yes, I realize this is not a NTFS file structure. But don't most file structure allow for inheritable permissions?
