Duplicate/ghost SMB shares showing up?? help!!
Okay, so I am running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.1, and my problem is as follows..
I used to use SharePoints when I was still running Tiger so that I could manage my SMB(samba) shares for my windows boxes and xbox(XBMC), but now since Leopard includes a SMB shares management preferences pane, I can no longer use SharePoints.. or I should say i no longer need it..
However, I have made a strange observation from using samba and sharing in Leopard.. Maybe this is a glitch..
So I am running 3 external HDD's, one firewire and two USB2.0''s (LaCie drives). I can share them all fine but my second usb 2.0 drive seems to show up as a duplicate SMB share when I add it.
For example, when I go to System Preferences > Sharing > File sharing; there won't be anything there yet until I specify what to share and what user gets access via SMB. However, before I even bother to share any folders.. the one USB drive is already being actively shared.. tho it is NOT listed in the sharing list for folders/drives.
Once I go to hit the "+" button to add that drive.. it'll show up as "drivename-1" (and this drive is forcing itself to be available to any user, regardless... so I can't hide that drive from any other user that shouldn't access it)
notice the "-1" at the end of the drivename of the usb drive.. So in other words, its trying to double share an already shared drive.. And I dunno why it won't unmount the original name and allow me to set proper permissions. How can I remove the duplicate share link for that one drive?? It doesn't happen to the other drives so I'm stumped..
Anything I can do in terminal to rectify this issue?? Like I said, I only got this share conflict with one usb 2.0 drive.. all other drives behave and share accordingly to the settings I specify.
I already looked inside /etc/smb.conf but can't find anything in there to get rid of the SMB share. Where does Samba actually store a reference of all smb shares??
