Anyone have experience with getting write to work on an external
usb drive attached to gentoo box. Read/write from a windows xp box.
I have the usb drive viewable from windowsXP thru network places. I
can navigate all thru it but cannot write to it.
Settings in /etc/samba/smb.con look like:
[...]
[smWinUsb]
comment = ""
path = /usb1
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
[smLinUsb]
comment = ""
path = /usb2
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
[...]
These are mounted at:
Initial mount of usb controller
(from linux mount cmd)
o usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
Individual drives on the USB external drive:
o /dev/sda2 on /usb2 type ext3 (rw)
o /dev/sda1 on /usb1 type vfat (rw)
Both are writable from the gentoo box where they are mounted.
/usb1 [vfat]
/usb2 [linux ext3]
Which is the same as any other shares in smb.conv. I've defined. All
of the others are writable from remote windows XP. None of the others
are USB drives however.
Is there some special tricks needed for USB drives.
Once more for clarity: I can access them from windows xp and view
contents but cannot write to them.
