I'm trying to move a file server up from Monterey to Sequoia...moving my RAID enclosure from macMini 2015-ish (Monterey was the end of the line) to macMini 2018 (Intel).

I'm having trouble sharing the file systems with reasonable security (read-only access for example).

Sharing a folder on the boot drive, if I set up a shared directory, access is working (with "allow full disk access for all users" disabled).
Sharing a folder on any removable volume drive, the shared directory shows in the client's list after it connects, but when it attempts to mount that shared directory, its Finder pops up an error like "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “extcanary” can’t be found." (for shared folder "extcanary").

I believe what's going on is the file server process is unable to request access to removable volumes, so the file sharing session is aborted.

If I turn on full disk access for all users, file sharing works...but that breaks security. I can't do read-only shared folders that way. I can't even make the list of shares available vary by user.

Anybody have suggestions of how can I get the file server in macOS Sequoia to serve removable volumes without full disk access enabled?

macOS 15.1.
