The issue you are facing:

My question is not version specific.

I have mounted “External Storage” via SMB (from Windows Server). As login I have configured Global Login.
If I now want to change this Global Login and enter another user, all users see the shares twice. Only the newly created entry shows the data.
It should be possible to change this login on an external storage without the users noticing anything.
How do I have to do this? We have over 100 shares.

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Create Shares in “External Storage” SMB/CIFS
  2. Use Global Login
  3. Give a group rights to it
  4. Add a User to this group
  5. The user sees the share with the data
  6. Now I change the Global Login to “External Storage”
  7. The user now sees 2 shares, but of course he can only access the data from the new share.
