Hello all,
I've doing some server consolidation using vmware, I've asked this
question to the vmware community, and I've gotten good, yet breif
answers. I thought, since it's mostly a samba related issue, this was
the right place to come.. Anyway....
I've successfully shared out my linux host filesystem to my linux guest
using samba. The linux guest will be a webserver and mysql database server.
One of the mount points on the guest is /usr/local/mysql/data because I
don't want the virtual disk to hold the databases. (I'm trying to keep
my virtual disks under 4GB)
My problem is when I try to start mysql, it complains about not being
about to chown the log files, as they are part of the samba share.
It there a way to have a samba share, hosted from the host machine to
the guest, to have full permissions on the guest os?
Someone mentioned to me, "make sure that
uid=XXX,gid=YYY,file_mode=ZZZ,dir_mode=TTT (& -u/-g/-f/-d) options are
not provided in fstab/smbclient/... Maybe recheck smb.conf on host for
"unix extensions" (default is YES, so if you'll not find it, it is OK).
Then mount filesystem in the guest. Full uid/gid/mode should fully
propagate between host & guest. Just make sure that host & guest use
same uid & gid in /etc/passwd & /etc/group."
But that makes no sense to me. I just need the smbclient machine to be
able to have full permission on the mysql data share.
Hopefully someone can help here. Thanks in advance everyone.
Jimmy
