samba config...so confused...

Well, I was originally planning to do RAID 1 so I could have some redundancy. At this point instead of doing RAID 0, I'll probably end up setting up a kron job to auto backup one share to another...kind of a poor man's RAID 1. But all this is moot because I can't copy any files at the moment anyway

I went to the disk manager and the disks didn't have an access path associated with them. They also were in the "disabled" state. I know I associated an access path with them and enabled them before. I reassociated /home/gws_share1 with hdb1 and /home/gws_share2 with hdd1 and enabled the drives, then restarted the box. I checked again and the settings were not saved. They had reverted to not having an access path associated with them and they were in the "disabled" state.

Incidentally, when I associated an access path with the drives and enabled them, I could see the shares from my windows box, but could not copy anything to them.

help..

Check what df gives from a console. If /home/gws_share1 (and 2) don't show up at all, try mounting them from the command line (as root): mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gws_share1 (I'm guessing about the hdb1 part, if you have more partitions on the 250G drive or use SATA drives it will be different)

What does your logs say ?
Can you checkback that 'nobody' as the user is still the owner for that directory or not ? //
#ls -l /home/gw_share1 & respectively for share2.
