I have been using SAMBA for a number of years and recently switched from
slackware to FC6 which is running 3.0.23c-2. Since the switch I have
been unable to share directories that are not on the root drive. For
example I can create a directory /mnt/backup and share it, but if I
mount /mnt/backup to a ext3 disk, then the share no longer works. This
is a problem as my /home directory is on a second drive (ext3).
smb.conf has the share defined as...
[global]
workgroup = DOGPACK
server string = Samba Server
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
preferred master = Yes
dns proxy = No
cups options = raw
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /mnt/backup
# mount
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/backup type ext3 (rw)
#ls -l /mnt
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Nov 29 20:17 backup
#mount -t cifs -o
username=paul,password=mypasswd //192.168.1.3/tmp/ /mnt/test1
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
#umount /mnt/backup
#ls -l /mnt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 20 19:54 backup
#mount -t cifs -o
username=paul,password=mypasswd //192.168.1.3/tmp/ /mnt/test1
mounts ok
The Samba logs show on the first failed attempt:
[2006/11/29 21:49:31, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(911)
'/mnt/backup' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to
[tmp] Error was Permission denied
I suspect this problem is also preventing me from sharing the home dirs
on /home (mounted as /hdb1 ext3)
This configuration was working on my slackware server. I have a smbuser
and smbpasswd file with 'paul' in it.
