Anyone have experience with getting write to work on an external |
| 2 |
usb drive attached to gentoo box. Read/write from a windows xp box. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I have the usb drive viewable from windowsXP thru network places. I |
| 5 |
can navigate all thru it but cannot write to it. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Settings in /etc/samba/smb.con look like: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
[...] |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
[smWinUsb] |
| 12 |
comment = "" |
| 13 |
path = /usb1 |
| 14 |
writeable = yes |
| 15 |
guest ok = yes |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
[smLinUsb] |
| 18 |
comment = "" |
| 19 |
path = /usb2 |
| 20 |
writeable = yes |
| 21 |
guest ok = yes |
| 22 |
[...] |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
These are mounted at: |
| 25 |
Initial mount of usb controller |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
(from linux mount cmd) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
o usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Individual drives on the USB external drive: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
o /dev/sda2 on /usb2 type ext3 (rw) |
| 34 |
o /dev/sda1 on /usb1 type vfat (rw) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Both are writable from the gentoo box where they are mounted. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
/usb1 [vfat] |
| 39 |
/usb2 [linux ext3] |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Which is the same as any other shares in smb.conv. I've defined. All |
| 42 |
of the others are writable from remote windows XP. None of the others |
| 43 |
are USB drives however. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Is there some special tricks needed for USB drives. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Once more for clarity: I can access them from windows xp and view |
| 48 |
contents but cannot write to them. |
