Hello,

I have successfully installed the openpogo packages and the spindown daemon (for spinning down drives attached to the pogoplug after a set period of inactivity) and the samba2 package. I have run into a problem configuring the SAMBA server. I can mount the exported share on my MAC, but once mounted it seems to be in read only mode. Well, not exactly read only, since I can create new files, but they are all empty (i.e. zero bytes). I have followed the suggested configurations at found here:

http://seongbae.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-samba-config-for-pogoplug.html

and here:

http://samba.netfirms.com/index.htm

but with the same outcomes.

Does anyone have some suggestions for fixing this problem?

Thanks,
Bob

Can't help you with your issues, but what spindown deamon are you talking about? I looked on the openpogo site and did not find anything on any spindown. I already have openpogo installed, so any help would be great.

Thanks

i like to use this smb.conf file.

I do not have the RO issue that you are descibing.

maybe check /tmp/.cemnt/ and see what the chmod is set at....


[global]

workgroup = WORKGROUP

server string = Pogoplug Samba2 Server

hosts allow = 192.168.3. 127.

null passwords = yes

guest account = root

log file = /opt/var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 50

security = share

encrypt passwords = yes

smb passwd file = /opt/etc/samba/smbpasswd

dns proxy = no

preserve case = yes


[ShareAll]

comment = Test share

path = /tmp/.cemnt

available = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

printable = no

create mask = 0777

guest ok = yes

browseable = yes

I tried s4mb4's smb.conf with samba3. I can mount the ShareAll share from my linux laptop, but I have no write access to it.

mount -t cifs -o uid=1000,gid-1000,rw,guest,remount //192.168.1.164/ShareAll /media/pogo-all

waboring@wboring:/media/pogo-all/mnt_sdb1$ touch ass
touch: cannot touch `ass': Permission denied

I have samba setup (from openpogo.com). This works great over my LAN network but so far have not been able to get port forwarding setup correctly so that I can hit the popoplug via dyndns.org. (I have port forwarding enabled and working for SSH). Has anyone managed to get samba working correctly via something like dyndns.org?

Thanks

Just to note, I installed and configured OpenVPN on my pogoplug and this solves my samba issues when connecting over the internet. Much faster than using the P Drive.
