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

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
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.
