In case anyone else comes across this, the fix for me was to start nmbd and enable "Samba Client" in the firewall.
/sbin/service nmb start

I'm not 100% sure if I needed to enable Samba Client in...

I finally got this to work. The answer was in setting "force directory mode = 0777" as an option on the share. I had read earlier that the keyword "mask" and "mode" mean the same thing for the...

I had used the original script, not this newer one. I am using CentOS 5.5, but the script worked fine aside from modifying it to use sdx3 instead of sdx1.

For an update, I added 3 more 2tb drives...

I do remember there being an (unofficial) bug with it, that a newer firmware fixed. I think 4.0 MR3 patch 1 and newer fixed that problem where linux couldn't connect, or roll back to 4.0 MR2 patch 7...

Wait, you have to ask them for the IP address? That shouldn't be the case, it should be able to see the SSID of the wireless access point. Do you have a little wifi icon in the upper right of your...

Glad you got it working!

For future reference, the devices on the inside of your network should have the linux box as their gateway IP (so 192.168.0.1 in your case), the linux box should have a...

Did you follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing

Did you setup iptables? If not then the boxes will be able to see the "router" linux box, but not the...

Nevermind, Transmission only works for files that don't come in a subdirectory. Argh forget it, I'll just use Windows. Confirmed, Windows works fine.

You mean you want to automatically connect to any open access-point? I don't know how to do that with NetworkManager, but I found this blog post that details wpa_supplicant:...

I'd never manually copy files, I always use a package manager of some sort. "sudo apt-get install smbfs" for example. Or "yum install smbfs". I think cifs is used now instead of smbfs though, can...

Oh boy, this is going to be a pain to do!

I believe what you want is called a bridge. I'd try installing bridge-utils and ebtables, and use brctl to control the bridge. Honestly I don't know how...

Does the livecd work? Did you have to compile the driver to get it to work the first time?

Oh what the heck, Transmission works fine, and doesn't ignore the umask, so I'm just going to use that.

So this seems to be completely unrelated to Samba, and is actually related to the torrent applications not honoring the system umask! I set the umask to be 0000 (rwxrwxrwx) on the system, but the...

I tried changing the mask to 664 and 775, and now when I edit files on the command line they are rw-rw-r-- which should work, but the torrent applications create files as rw-r--r-- still! I tried...

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop VM that is running torrent software, and it is saving the files to a samba share (which is actually the host it is running on). I have also tested from another Ubuntu...

I'm not sure if it helps, but I'm going through my samba config now, and I disabled SELinux and then it worked. Don't forget to chmod 755 the /share you created as well!

I'm stuck on the part...

Done, I just appended it to /etc/init.d/rc.local Thanks!

Oh one final thing, since I ran that script, it seems the HDD's are parking the heads or something about every 10 seconds. It looks similar to this issue:...

Ok I debugged the script, it was expecting /dev/sd[a-z]1, and my array was /dev/sd[a-z]3, I changed those lines in the script and then it ran.

Before:
Write speed 55 MB/s
Read speed 115 MB/s
...

This worked for me with my seagate 2tb drives in a raid5 array.

I did have to modify some lines in the script, the lines where it is expecting /dev/sd[a-z]1 in my case needed to be changed to...

rubylaser:

md0 is 100mb, and is only /boot
md1 is 16gb, and is swap
md2 is the rest of the drive (about 4 TB), and is / - everything is in here, including the OS as far as I know. /etc, /var,...

I did yes, the CPU is doing something serious, and the HDD's are going so I thought it was doing something.

I edited the script to be more verbose and ran it again. It seems to get stuck in the...

My post above did not fix it, same speeds as before. However hdparm is twice as fast (209 MB/s). I'll try that script, thanks very much for the link.

Edit: Any idea how long this will take to...

Right now the recovery on the fresh install is going at 62-65 MB/s, better than before but not the big increase I was hoping for. I'm not sure if this fixed it.
