This works well until the network changes. It only picks up what's on the network at boot not anything that is added later. Is there any way to refresh the network?
EDIT: I just found the answer to my own question from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=71797
Just open a terminal and type in
Code:fusesmb.cache
Hi all...Newbie alert :-)
I have followed the how-to but when I reach the final step (opening the /media/network folder) there is no MSHOME inside.
When I check /media/network folder permissions I find Owner (Root) is still read and write but Group and Others have been changed to read only.
The "Allow use of fuse filesystems etc" box mentioned in step 5 is ticked.
sudo chmod 777 /media/network gives permission denied.
mount /media/network gives....
according to mtab, fusesmb is already mounted on /media/network mount failed
FWIW, in "Process Manager" I have two instances of fusesmb running.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards
Miguel
Sounds like either your sudo is messed up, or fusesmb is "locking" the changing of the directoy or something.Quote:

If you are also running it in your fstab, edit and take it out of there too.
Reboot... then try to sudo chmod 777 /media/network in a terminal window.
If you can successfully change the permissions to 777, Then redo step 7 and don't add anything to your fstab.
Hello Taz....Thanks for the reply. Still no success.Quote:

Without the fusesmb autostart I can manually sudo chmod 777 /media/network.
But after I fusesmb /media/network in the terminal the permissions change back to Owner rw, Group and Others ro which was my original problem.
However once I do the fusesmb /media/network command my /etc/mtab has a fusesmb entry....
fusesmb /media/network fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,max_read=32768,user=samsung 0 0
(samsung is my username). Is this of any help?
Thanks

Try running fusesmb with this command instead:Quote:

Hello reacocard....Thanks for taking the time to reply.Quote:

Before I entered the fusesmb command, /media/network was owned by root and everyone had read and write permissions.
After I entered the fusesmb command, /media/network was owned by samsung (my user name) and Group and Others became read only. When I try to manually change the permissions I get "access denied"
Should "system/users_and_groups/root/properties/user privileges/allow use of fuse...." be ticked or not. My "user_name/allow use of fuse...." is ticked as per Taz's original instructions, but root isn't. (FTR, I've tried root ticked and not ticked and neither seem to make a difference.)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Miguel
Try doing fusesmb as root instead:Quote:

Yes, allow fuse should be checked. Having root's checked shouldn't matter, as root has access to everything.Quote:

Hello again reacocard,
My apologies. I seem to have been wasting everyones time.
I tried your latest suggestions but with no success.
So I resized my 60GB Xubuntu partition down to 50GB and used the freed up 10GB for a fresh install of Xubuntu to the new 10GB partition (called Xubuntu2)
Lo and behold, by following Taz's original instructions there were no problems setting up the samba network share in the fresh installation. So something is amiss in my original installation.
I doubt I have the ability to track down what's causing the problem so it looks like I might just increase the size of my new 10 GB partition and gradually migrate to it from the old partition.
Crude, I know. But it gets the job done which is the main thing.
Again, apologies for wasting your (and Taz's) time.
Regards
Miguel
I had a similar problem but then it was gone. I am not sure that I did much for that. I remeber creating another dir in /media but have never used it as /media/network started to work fine.Quote:

Sorry for the long time to reply. Busy Holliday Season for me this year. :)Quote:

Glad it worked for you on a fresh install, though. ;)
