I'm trying to mount some volumes in a directory and share the directory and everything under it. This IS possible as after poking at it enough my first try worked--but I don't know what I did to make it work. Unfortunately I didn't have all the hardware in place at that time and now I'm having no luck reproducing my original success. The stuff that I originally managed to share works fine, the rest of it won't share.
Edit: Situation:
Initial install:
C:\Backup
Volume 1
Volume 2
after messing around a while and recreating it this worked. Now:
C:\Backup
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3
Volume 4
Volumes 1 & 2 work, 3 & 4 do not. 3 already contained a lot of data, 4 was totally empty. I've tried sharing the volumes separately before sticking them into the tree, I've tried recreating C:\Backup, nothing changes. When you try to share C:\Backup it completes basically instantly--it's not hunting down past the mount points when it sets things up for sharing.
