Hi,
I'm an owner of HAP ax3 device. I've connected a USB disk to the router. I share a few folders on that disk as SMB shares and I'm using one folder as a media share. However, there's one default samba share one media share that are both linked to the root of the disk. They are both marked as dynamic, so I cannot remove nor edit them. How do I turn them off? Thank you

Hi,
In Winbox open System => Disks => Settings and uncheck Auto SMB Share and Auto Media Share parameters.
or
In CLI run

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't help. I've also rebooted the router after disabling both, but nothing changed. Any ideas why?

I would have thought that would have worked...

You can also be explicit to disable SMB:

/ip/smb/set enabled=no

(the default is "auto" AFAIK ... but I'd thought the /disk auto-smb-sharing=no mean auto in /ip/smb be =no)

I'm facing the same issue:
Set: But I still have the whole usb2 shared by default while I would like to expose only usb2/share: I'm hosting also 2 containers on that usb2 drive and would like to avoid exposing all the config files over SMB

Did you manage to find a solution to remove the whole usb drive from the SMB share and leave exposed only specific folders on the drive?

Set:

Code: Select all

/disk/settings/set auto-smb-sharing=no auto-media-sharing=no 

[...]

ip/smb/print
enabled: yes
status: enabled
domain: MSHOME
comment: MikrotikSMB
interfaces: brg-lan

Did you try /ip/smb/set enabled=no or /ip/smb/set enabled=auto ?

I have the same problem on my AX3 (7.16.2) - the default SMB share and DLNA server for the usb1 root are still accessible after disabling them in System->Disk->Settings. Has anyone finally solved this problem?

Set:

Code: Select all

/disk/settings/set auto-smb-sharing=no auto-media-sharing=no 

[...]

Did you try /ip/smb/set enabled=no or /ip/smb/set enabled=auto ?

Yes tried all options:
- no -> SMB files are not accessible
- auto/yes -> enable SMB, but shares the whole USB drive.

A possible solution:
set (replace usb2) with the drive id that you want to disable. Then in the IP/SMB settings add only the folder you would want to share in Shares.

A possible solution:
set

Code: Select all

disk/set usb2 smb-sharing=no

(replace usb2) with the drive id that you want to disable. Then in the IP/SMB settings add only the folder you would want to share in Shares.

This solution really works for me. Thanks a lot!
