I am on 3.00 (Cassandra). On my "server" system, I have an external USB 200GB drive. When I plug it in, of course it is recognized by Gnome, and mounts it with my ownership.
But, if I do this, I haven't figured out how to share the drive with SAMBA. There seems to be some permission problems when trying to access the problem through the network. I cannot change permissions of the volume while it is mounted.
If I unmount the volume, and mount it as root to a mount point in /mnt, all is well. There are no problems accessing across the network.
So, short of modifying FSTAB and mounting it permanently, is there a way to share an external USB volume, mounted by a user with administrative privileges across a SAMBA network?
Your help would be kindly appreciated.
P.S.
Mods - I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. I deleted it from General announcements, and moved it here.
