Please excuse me if this is not the thread for this issue. I recently mounted an external drive to my piCoreplayer using 'these' (https://www.picoreplayer.org/how_to_add_usb_hdd.shtml) excellent instructions. The drive had previously been mounted to my Netgear router and recently I decided to move it over to the pi due to issues with the router (I guess) causing the pi having problems finding the mount.
I loaded Samba. Clicked on Write Permissions I successfully did a full rescan with the (powered) drive connected to the pi. I used a different share name from the name used when it was connected to the router. In order to get my playlists to find the files due to the new share name, I had to do a global edit change on the files in the playlist directory. I have done this successfully before when it was mounted to the router using Finder and or a terminal session to the /Volumes directory on the MacBook. I connected to the pi (Go->connect to server>smb://192.168.1.206/ShoreLMS I opened a terminal session on the MacBook pro to its /Volumes/ShoreLMS/Playlists directory and issued the appropriate sed common to do the change. I received an error that I didnt have permissions, so tried again with sudo. This time I get the error > Can't do inplace edit on Christmas Cache 01 2019 2 hr 15 min.m3u: Cannot > make temp name: Read-only file system. for each file. So I naturally tried to edit permissions with chmod, and sudo chmod. Still get the read-only error. I sshed into the pi itself using user tc, and received the same results for each step. The owner for the files in the directory The Directory: DRWXR-XR-X 1 502 80 42 DEC 1 14:48 PLAYLISTS/ Should the owner be tc instead of 502? I had clicked Set Write Permissions - which directories does it process? Example file: -RWXR--R-- 1 ROOT ROOT 4096 DEC 1 20:20 ._CHRISTMAS CACHE 28 2019 2 HR 15 MIN.M3U Mount: tc@LRpiCore:/mnt$ ls -al total 1 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 140 Dec 31 1969 ./ drwxr-xr-x 17 1000 1000 360 Dec 31 1969 ../ DRWXRWXR-X 1 ROOT 80 30 OCT 28 21:44 SHORELMS/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Dec 31 1969 mmcblk0p1/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Aug 11 2018 mmcblk0p2/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Dec 31 1969 sda1/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Dec 31 1969 sda2/ Also, Finder would not allow me to copy files into the directory now that the drive is connected to the pi, when I previously had no issues when it was mounted to the Router. Any help here would be appreciated, is this a user/permission thing, or do I have to do some kind of disc repair. An internet search alludes to a fsck command, but Im not familiar with it and dont want to do damage to the disk drive (I have 3 copies, 2 pf which are offsite, but that is besides the point!) thanks - Donald ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stereoptic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53162 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110642
