LinuxQuestions.org - Unable to share folder on disk using Samba -Rights problem?-

Code:

cat /etc/mtab | grep [partition name]

Many thanks for the help, frankbell,

I've format disk again with gparted (ext4), so I can't write on disk (as usual), so I made:

Code:

chmod -R 777 /media/elhtpc/ALMACEN

(The actual name is ALMACEN, not STORE). Now I had access from the local machine to write and create folders.

I try to share a folder (right click, properties, share tab, share with samba, allow guests, everyone: full control, elhtpc:full control), and on Rights tab I set "Ohers: Can view and modify content" and check "Apply to subfolders and its contents".

In this moment the folder get the "shared" icon but I can't access to it from Windows machine. Another important thing is that the values I set on share tab seems to dissapear when I press "accept".

I've try to force all of my samba clients to look like "elhtpc" for the shares. I edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add "force user = elhtpc" under the workgroup line.

Now I can access to the new shared folder but I have only read rights, not write. If I enter on share tab in folder properties, I set "allow guests, everyone: full control", but when I accept and enter again is changed to "read only".

I've try:

Code:

sudo chown -R elhtpc /media/elhtpc/ALMACEN

But problem persist.

I copy the result of testparm -s

Code:

[global]

    server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

This is the output of cat /proc/mounts:

¿How to get write access?

Many thanks in advance
