    Didn't work. I can't see my shared drives from my laptop nor my wife's on windows 8.

    grrrr this is so irritating. I can't even share it by right clicking them. I ran the chmod but it didn't seem to do anything

    Re: home server

    So I know this is more than you really need to see, however this is what I did.
    Code:
    #
    # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
    #
    #
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
    # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
    # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
    # are not shown in this example
    #
    # Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
    # commented-out examples in this file.
    #  - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
    #    differs from the default Samba behaviour
    #  - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
    #    behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
    #    enough to be mentioned here
    #
    # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
    # "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic 
    # errors. 
    # A well-established practice is to name the original file
    # "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
    # testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
    # This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
    # which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance
    # However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
    # "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
    # where using a master file is not a good idea.

    Now what the heck did I do wrong? I restarted the server, but maybe that didn't manage to re-read the smb.conf file? I am clue less here.

    Re: home server

    I think that is because mostly I keep getting this every time I try to restart samba
    root@server-box:/home/server# sudo service samba restart
    samba: unrecognized service

    Why is that? I know I have samba installed....

    Re: home server

    My mistake, the daemon (service) might have been smbd, not samba.
    sudo service smbd restart

    As for your smb.conf, you named both shares [network]. I said to name them as you wish, different names. Not sure if it can work with same names for two shares. Just make them [raid] and [disk] or whatever.

    Again, I suggest you delete you smb.conf file and make a new small one, only with the [global] section I posted and your two shares. The default smb.conf includes some options that could be messing it up for you. Like read-only access to shares, which is not what we want. You can see in the Shares Definitions section it mentions for security it will set read-only access to shares by default.

    By removing all from smb.conf and putting only what you need, you make it small, easily viewable, and most important you avoid having some option that you don't want.
    Darko.

    Re: home server

    So let me just tell you what I just did and maybe you can help me out a little. I followed this post here (the last post): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-770643.html
    just to see if it would fix it. I was, after running through it and rebooting, allowed to share via the right click method. However I didn't do it for all my folders or a single drive. I just wanted to see if it would work. I then went and created a brand new folder, with nothing in it and tried to share that... that didn't show up on my windows machine either. I know there has to be something simple... but I can't seem to figure it out.
    Even with nautilus permissions I am allowed to share the folders, but nothing shows up on my windows machine. Is something not right on my windows machine? I don't quite understand here as I haven't done anything out of the ordinary here...

    Re: home server

    How are you accessing the shares from the windows machine?

    Last I checked samba shared and nautilus shares conflicted with each other, so you need to pick one or the other if you are going to be sharing files with a Windows machine.

    You can find a decent tutorial on how set setup Samba classic in standalone mode here:

    Re: home server

    I am accessing them through the network tab on my home drive. The only reason why I have been trying both is that neither will work in any way. I looked through your tutorial and nothing that I have is any different than what you have suggested. If you read back through my previous posts (bear with me as there are many) I have tried multiple things since switching from a conventional 320gb seagate drive that had my OS on it, to a fresh install on my Kingston 120gb SSD. This has helped on my server a bit, as well as almost all of my other config files work great. My arrays build just fine, all my drives mount at boot just fine. My minidlna even shows up and shares those files. However I need to be able to see more than just photos and videos and I would also like to control them from my windows machine. I have tried as darkod has suggested with the chmod and all that, however it doesn't seem to be changing anything for me. I have also tried the link in my last post, but that didn't do anything for me either. The only thing that I did get from your post was adding another user to my samba share called laptop and giving it a password. I know that on my previous sertup, windows originally asked me for a password and username and I used an account that I had created on my server in order to access my files as it wouldn't let me do so with my root account. Both accounts are admins just as a FYI. How can I change permissions and delete the shares? I will go in via nautilus and uncheck sharing as well as anything else I could have changed just to see if that changes anything. As I said before the first time I just right clicked and said share the drive. However for some reason this time I got the user share 255 error and it won't let me do it that way. It would seem like the smb.conf file is completely useless to me right now for whatever reason. Could it be because I called this build the same thing as my active build at the time? What I mean is that my server was called server-box and was still on the network when I installed the OS on the SSD. It gave me a warning, but didn't do anything about it. I would have thought that since it was going to be erased it wouldn't matter anyways.
