Hello,

Simply browse to

https://YOUR_SERVER_IP/server-manager

and create an ibay with the apropriates settings andrights.

for what you want it should be :

shared (you use whaterver you want else you want as name)
public ibay
everyone
write=group, read=group
no access
disabled

okay I got that thanks, íts possible for me to do this?

Since I only use SME-Server as a file server and printer. I want to install SME-Server on a small HDD, then add a second HDD (bigger one) to store data? If so how can it be dóne

thanks

yes you can.

just add your extra hdd after the installation, add it in fstab to mount it in your ibay's folder ( copy files on it before mounting it to the folder , if there is already some files in the ibay).

try not to mount to entire /home/e-smith nor  /home/e-smith/files because a lot o configuration files are in this ... if your 2° hdd fails , then your SME won't be able to load correctly.

the best you can do  is one folde rper ibay or user on your 2° SME or
one ibays folder mounted to  /home/e-smith/files/ibays and one user folder mounted to  /home/e-smith/files/users. Or you can do symlinks manually for each ibays and users and mount your drive to another place like /media/bigdrive/
