Hello,
I need some help with my Samba share settings.
I have an NTFS formatted SATA HDD attached to the Vero 4K+ with a SATA to USB 3 docking station.
In /etc/fstab I added the following line:
Read access from my Windows 10 PC works fine. Pretty slow at 10 MB/s though.
But the issue is I can’t write to the drive, it says access denied:
Writing on automounted exFAT USB drive and NTFS USB external HDD works fine. The SATA HDD won’t show in Windows that way though, only when mounted via fstab.
Maybe smb-local.conf needs some edtiting?
Any help is appreciated.
NTFS will be slow as it goes through FUSE.
Remove the fstab line and reboot, we’ll automatically mount the drive under /media and if you have installed Samba via the App Store, we’ll share it with RW access.
It should be. Maybe try rebooting the PC in case the shares have not refreshed.
Can you confirm that it’s visible under /media (i.e. that it’s being auto mounted correctly)?
Reeboted, but it’s not there.
The HDD is visible under /media, I have access using FileZilla SSH file transfer protocol.
It’s also visible twice on OSMC itself, under Video/Files/Backup and Video/Files/Auto-mounted drives/Backup, if that helps.
OK, working on it. net use \\192.168.1.118\osmc /user:osmc and net view \\192.168.1.118 gives two resources:
BackupDrive (Auto-mount Volume) and osmc (OSCM Home Directory).
So why is BackupDrive still there? I wondered before why it’s still there in windows explorer under \OSMC.
Google suggests to delete the file /var/lib/samba/usershares/backupdrive
Good idea?
So I removed the usershares/backupdrive file.
That also removed it from windows explorer - only osmc home directory remains.
net use \\192.168.1.35\osmc /user:osmc and net view \\192.168.1.35 says:
Samba 4.5.16-Debian

Can’t connect to \192.168.1.35\Backup in windows explorer.
net use /delete \\192.168.1.35\osmc followed by net use \\192.168.1.35\Backup /user:osmc says system error 53 - can’t find network path.
Seems “Backup” might not be the bet name. Can you change the label of the partition/disk to something more unique e.g. Backup_2T

Apr 26 22:18:40 osmc udisks-glue[631]: net usershare add: share name backup is already a valid system user name
Apr 26 22:18:40 osmc sudo[1403]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root
Thats because it is only mounted read-only. /dev/sda1 /media/Backup fuseblk ro
Could it be that the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted? Suggest to connect it to windows PC run chkdsk on it and then eject safely before reconnect to OSMC.
That seemed to be the case.
Running chkdsk (no errors) and turning the drive offline in windows, shutting down and remove didn’t help, it was still mounted as ro.
What I did then is run ntfsfix, i.e.:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1
which put out:
Mounting volume… Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
