Hi All,
In the process of writing this post, I found the problem. The path was incorrect.
Hopefully, by posting this, someone else may be helped.
Starting a new thread, since this is a slightly different topic. Thread to mount
old hard drive located here:
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/old-server-died-trying-to-mount-that-old-working-disk-in-new-server.85349/
Problem: although the main hard drive is working fine and Windows computers can access it,
the recently installed hard drive in a USB carrier (from an old server) is not able to be seen by Windows.
Via console, /media/ExtUSB/usr/home/samba/public is accessible.
Edited /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf by adding 2nd section called "extusb":
When the Windows computer tries to connect, the FreeBSD server throws this error:
Took a look here, but nothing jumps out at me:
Found problem. The path in the conf file was:
/media/ExtUSB/usr/home/samba/public
when it should have been:
/media/ExtUSB/home/samba/public
Posting this since it might help someone in the future.
