I can confirm this problem. On my Kubuntu Jaunty box: /data/multimedia /data/multimedia/mp3 /data/mp3 <-------- symlink to /data/multimedia/mp3
On Windows, when I access the files under /data/mp3, they are all read-only. No write permissions at all. But when I access those same files using /data/multimedia/mp3, they are read/write. For example, when I use the Network Neighborhood: * /data/multimedia/mp3/readme.txt is read/write. * /data/mp3/readme.txt is read-only. There's something about following a symlink that makes the files read- only. All files under /data/multimedia/mp3 have permissions rw-rw-r and all directories have permissions rwxrwxr-x. Everything has ownership p:users (p is my username and is a member of users). Here is the relevant sections of smb.conf: [data] comment = Public read/write data directory. path = /data read only = no public = yes [mp3] comment = Public read/write mp3 directory. path = /data/mp3 read only = no writable = yes follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes public = yes One interesting thing I've noticed in my log files about trying to write to share mp3: [2009/10/09 20:48:43, 0] param/loadparm.c: process_usershare_file(8327) process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/mp failed. No such file or directory The "3" in "mp3" seems to have been cut off. I wonder if that's relevant? -- samba shares of symlinks are always read-only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380715 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
