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
