Hi there,
So I need to know if I can create a sambashare into proxmox OS. If proxmox is on 192.168.1.10 then when I do Add: SMB/CIFS may I put that same ip address on Server? Because if I can then the credentials should be the same of proxmox itself, right? Anyways. All I want is to create an HDD mirror on my network and I wonder if this is possible to do it without truenas or omv but directly on proxmox OS. If anyone know how to do it or have a link in mind it will be appreciated.
 
Hi,
the Add SMB/CIFS menu is for making an existing share available to use within Proxmox VE. You cannot create a new one via the UI. That has to be done manually via CLI. There are lots of tutorials out there (since Promxox VE is Debian-based you might want to include "Debian" when searching for them). For example, the Debian wiki entry.

Thank you very much your comment is enlightened to me
