If I understand what you have posted, you are trying to share a remote disk ( media vault ) using samba.
As I understand a media vault has a windoze OS, so I would have to guess that means an NTFS file system. I don't believe you can change permissions on a NTFS file system from linux. Is there no way to get into the media vault, and make the share there? Why use Samba at all, other than to mount the drive(s) to share to the linux system? |
You understood me correct.

I'm using samba cause of Windows machine on the network.I'm also mounting the drive(s) on linux before sharing it on Samba. Will look for an alternative. Thanks, |
The intent of Samba server is to share local partitions and files. The problem is samba can not control read and write permissions on another system. I think you need to share the media vault from that system, to your network.
Samba client mounts remote shares, that is working. |
