Music content directory on a QNAP
Hi
I'm just setting up my QNAP TS-253 Pro, bought with the main purpose of running Minimserver with my Linn DS.
I've followed the instructions at http://minimserver.com/install-qnap.html and have successfully reached setting up Minimserver bullet 2. It says:
"The QPKG installer sets the initial content directory to /share/Multimedia or /share/Qmultimedia, depending on your model of QNAP NAS."
Running Filestation on the QNAP, I can see four directories: home, homes, Public and Web. So it looks like QPKG didn't do this.

Q1 Is this a problem? Do the instructions need updating?

Assuming this isn't a problem, I guess I need to create a directory myself. I haven't moved any music onto the NAS yet so I'm free to choose the best name, location etc. This is where I show my ignorance on how networking and security works. I ideally would like a directory on the QNAP that everyone in my house can easily access, obviously that the Linn DS can access without hassle, but that is still behind a firewall so that someone in Russia can't just read or worse alter my files.

Q2 Where do I put my music folder (I'm planning just to name it "Music")? In the root directory, one of the existing directories or should I create the "Mulitimedia" folder that QPKG should have already created?

Q3 Do I create a folder or a shared folder?

Q4 Assuming the latter, what are the best options for all the settings that are available on the "Create a shared folder" window?

Thank you!

Mark
