I have traced one of my troubles to one of ownership of a directory and it's contents. MySQL requires ownership of the data directory. This I found out the hard way.
I ran 'sudo chown -R' on the directory in question on that NAS, but after I did so, Linux still seems to think that root still owns the directory and its contents. Why? And how should I fix this?
Hi chown will work if smb.conf on the NAS allows it. Do you have access to smb.conf for that directory on the NAS? Does the NAS have a control panel for the samba shares maybe? Post smb.conf if you can. HTH L x
OK, where do I find that file. Dolphin doesn't show such a file, at least in the directory to which the mount (in fstab) is pointing. How does samba fit into the mix of NAS, cifs, and Suse? I did not ask for samba when I installed Suse 12.3, and it would not have occured to me to do anything with samba when the instructions I have received for the NAS say nothing about it, referring only to mount and cifs. There is a control panel for the NAS, but I will have to reboot to get into it (because the browser on my Windows box (which I use for communications), is acting up).
