OK, so let me explain a little about my set-up. I have a file server with 6 hard drives in it. Some of these drives are mounted and symlinked into a folder that is shared via samba. Now I had a problem with samba not following symbolic links so to fix that problem I had to disable unix extensions. (I found that solution here) Now though a new problem has manifested itself. I can mount and read anything I want, but when I try to copy a folder and it's contents to one of the shares I get a an error. The folder is created, but it won't create any of the item contained inside the folder. Once the initial error occurs I can then copy contents into the folder but not in a single operation. Here is what I get:
Code:
[macele@localhost ~]$ cp -r Desktop/testfolder/ /mnt/net/storage/250a/
cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/net/storage/250a/testfolder/large_test.avi': Permission denied
It creates the folder, but not the file inside. Here is a ls -l of the folder that was created on the server:
Code:
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 16 14:31 testfolder/
so if the permissions where 777 then why did it fail?
My smb.conf from the server:
Code:
macele@serv:~$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = OLYMPUS
server string = Server to the Olympians (Ubuntu)
security = user
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
local master = Yes
preferred master = Yes
dns proxy = No
name resolve order = lmhosts host bcast
debug level = 1
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
unix extensions = no
force user = macele
force group = macele
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
valid users = %S
;invalid users = root bin daemon nobody named sys tty disk mem kmem users
[storage]
path = /share
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = no
[tmp]
comment = Temporary File Space
path = /tmp
read only = No
valid users = admin
invalid users = root bin daemon nobody named sys tty disk mem kmem users
[Storage] is the share im talking about. And I have no idea what the problem is here.
I am mounting the filesystem with these parameters:
Code:
//192.168.1.31/storage /mnt/net/storage cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, 0 0
I can't find anything helpful from the logs, but I'll post what it shows for the sake of completeness.
smb log:
Code:
macele@serv:~$ tail /var/log/samba/log.192.168.1.30

You guys have been very helpful to me in the past, and I would appreciate any help you can give me on this little problem.
Thx
Perhaps this should have gone into the Linux - Server board but I'm also kind of a newbie, so I just went with newbie. Sorry if this thread landed on the wrong board.
