I'm experienced with zentyal which is great but now Samba windows acl permissions are not working properly, and I concluded that are not well deployed, and so I decided to give ClearOs a try, and as a matter of fact after all my testing everything is really smoth and works greatly, I had a great test with all windows Acl and they are working awesomely;
now I'm trying to migrate the old Iscsi Nas (9TB - medium sized company environment); I'm using this ext4 filesystem on the NAS with the old distribution and I never had problems so I suppose that the nas works properly.The Iscsi initiator worked perfectly and I mounted it on sda1, obviously, without formatting anything. The command read and write on the nas perfectly, after I configured it to mount in a random folder. But...

What I want to do is, I want to get the same shares i had on the old distribution, for migration suitability, which are:
#flexshare1 => folder "share1"
#flexshare2 => folder "share2"
...
All in the root of the NAS.

My fist attempt was to create the flexshare on the webgui, with the same name of the old share, then, mount the NAS on the /var/flexshare/shares directory, reboot; I expected to see the folder populated and perhaps give the same permissions Clearos gives on his shares (so flexshare user and allusers group); no way the system neither boot!

Second attempt, was to delete all the flexshares, and BEFORE, mount the nas; reboot, and then create new shares on the webgui, with the same name of the folder already present in the nas (folder "share1" I mentioned above); the answer from the webgui: "unexistant folder"!!

Third: full of hope, I found the /etc/clearos/flexshare.conf custom folder option, tried to add the random folder where I mount my nas, with the same name of the share, obviously, then the share is created but, another surprise, although the permissions are exactyl the same of usual flexshare, I can't access in the share in no way at all!! Windows answers "Unable to access, ask to the admin" error"

Fourth, I tried to mount the nas in another folder, then bind mount on the right folder (/var/flexshare/shares), and in this case the system boots, I can access the terminal and see the folder and the content on the right path (/var/flexshare/shares) but, surprise! The webgui doesn't start! I can't see the login page, "refused connection" error!

Fifth, I tried to bind on a subfolder (/var/flexshare/shares/test) the bind works and the system starts. But it's not what I want because I can't implement with the same share names I had on the old distribution.

So I think I've done all the attempts; I'm stuck. Don't know what to do then. Do you have any advice?

Thank you very much
