Now, I'd like to also have this FAT32 /data drive mounted automatically by the other computers. For testing purposes, I'm trying to get it to mount in the Linux side on the desktop. So, I've got an entry in my desktop fstab that looks like this: <snip> I also have set "Writeable = yes" in the smb.conf file on the server for this share. Could the problem be that I'm trying to mount it twice -- i.e., this /data directory is mounted by the server and then it's mounted again by the client. Is that a problem?
Probably not.
I really would like to make this share writeable. Any suggestions or thoughts are very appreciated.
I have the same issue. The issue is that when the share is mounted in this way, it is mounted be root and the permissions seem to get fubared. If you after booting go in as root and unmount the partition and then mount it as user, then you should gain rw to the partition. I still have not figured this out yet though :( -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
