Samba problems.

**twin-08** · April 3rd, 2010

Hey guys, I had a few problems with samba to config it to a second hard drive which was on a raid card, as my primary drive is an ide drive.

I installed a gui and for the path to the second hard drive last night which all worked fine, I tried to remove the gui which failed so I went to my self lets just format and set it up again.

After doing that and getting webmin installed, I went to config samba like what I done before, went to the media folder and there was no second hard driver there, this is the problem that I am having with this as it was working last night.

Anyways heres the fdisk info just incase you need it.

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40037760000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4867 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

You don't mention the rest of the network you will be using to access the samba shares you are struggling to create. Can you provide a bit more info please?

I will be having a share on the second hard drive for a windows network of two computers. The share will only be used as a file storage for backups and hosting movies/music.

I had it working last night, now today after I formated it to keep the gui off it has seemed to mess up again.

Thanks, Twin
