1. i am using RHLE AS3, i share a folder "abc" /abc as samba share folder,than i change this folder permision to 777, ok my Windows xp system can READ&WRITE this folder.
NOW I ADD 1PCS HARDDISK so i use command mount: # mount -v /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1 . i success mount this 2nd harddisk partion on /mnt/hdc1, Now i want to set this folder as also same like folder "abc" can READ&WRITE on my windows XP. Now i can READ only this folder /mnt/hdc1 from my Windows xp, but cannot WRITE. PROBLEM I CANNOT CHANGE THIS FOLDER(/mnt/hdc1) PERMISION TO 777, so i cannot write to this folder(/mnt/hdc1) WHY CANNOT CHANGE THHIS FOLDER(/mnt/hdc1) PERMITION TO 777??? How to make it can READ&WRITE on this MOUNT partion /mnt/hdc1 on Windows xp by SAMBA server.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Please don't use so much capitalization. It makes the post hard to read. Also run it through the spell checker before posting.

You may want to compare the share definitions of both the [abc] share and the new share in your smb.conf file. You also need to run "testparm" after editing your smb.conf file to check it for correctness. You may simply need to restart samba so that the config file is reread.

For a globally writable share, you should set the sticky bit on the directory.
There are three books that usually come either with samba or a samba-doc package that you could look at as well.

This look like the problem is your smb.conf (/etc/smb.conf in Fedora/centOS/Redhat)
