Thanks for the response! As I mentioned, I'm something of a Samba simp, so I don't REALLY know what I'm doing with regards to editing a Samba config file. I copied the file as you suggested, and took the easiest route available to me: I commented out the list of shares (would it be better to just change the "available" fields to "no"?), and that eliminated of all but two folders: my media drive (which I want), and a folder called "Boot OS X", (which I don't want). A bit of research suggests that the latter folder is a partition on my external drive that OS X managed to sneak on there somehow (the drive is formatted as ext4, BTW). There's nothing of any interest there, but I'd still like to exclude that from the list of shares. Unfortunately neither of the two were in the list to begin with, so I'm at a bit of a loss at how to block them. Any idea of how I can keep the "Boot OS X" partition from showing up?

I'm using the latest LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 4 for my media center. I have a USB hard drive attached to the Pi, and I've enabled the Samba server so that other Kodi instances on my local network can access the media easily. It works great (really, GREAT...superb work on this!). But I notice that lots of directories are exposed -- I would like to ONLY share the external hard drive containing the media. Is there a way I can change the Samba configuration to do this? I'm not at all conversant with the details of Samba settings.

This works great...thanks! It would be nice if the OP marked this as resolved.

It worked! All I had to do was rename DRIVEB to DRIVEA (which I did on a different computer), and when I restarted LibreELEC with the new drive attached, all was well! Completely seamless and couldn't be easier. Many thanks to Iridium for the tip!

OOooo...that sounds almost too easy to be true! I'll give it a whirl (after backing everything up
) and post my results here.Thank you Iridium!

I have an Raspberry Pi-based installation of LibreELEC that uses DRIVEA as its media storage. I underestimated the storage I would need, and now wish to transfer the media collection to the much larger DRIVEB. How can I transfer my collection to the new drive, and still keep the settings, usage data, and other information like ratings and watched/recently added lists? I'm particularly interested in keeping my watched/unwatched information.
(Right now, DRIVEB is a clone of DRIVEA, but if I point my media source at DRIVEB, it will assume it's all new material and import it all as new -- losing watched/unwatched information).
Any insight and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
