Otherwise, you can play with the settings to force a local linux account to be used in order to access the shares. I think this article done a great job. What a best way to describe your view. Thanks for sharing with us. Really like your informative article. Hopefully we will get more interesting topic from you in future.
This is an awesome list and I have used many of these ideas in marketing my home based business and got results. Thank you, works excellent. Yes this works however the problem with this is that it shows on Windows client with the free space as only the free space available on the OS drive.
Since I am running XBMClive from a 4 gig memory stick with 2 gig available, when I plug in a gig external disk , it still shows only 2 gig available. Note: ip-address is the Samba server IP address and sambashare is the name of the share.
Enter them to connect! Ubuntu and Canonical are registered trademarks of Canonical Ltd. Tutorials Install and Configure Samba. Overview A Samba file server enables file sharing across different operating systems over a network. This guide covers the installation and configuration of Samba on Ubuntu. I changed smb. Worked like a charm. These are really useful instructions and having followed them for my Pro I now have everything working. However, has anyone got this working with Mountain Lion?
Thanks in advance. This is an awesome guide! Thank you so much for putting it together. I have tried other guides with no success as I was always getting stuck with sharing external hard drives to my windows machines but your guide worked nicely.
I was wondering if there is a way to get Samba to autostart when the Pogo is turned on? Do you know of a way I can make a hard drive have the same route name, so when I attach and detatch drives, the route stays the same?
So, for example, XBMC can still find all my media on that drive? I did discuss it in another blog post, and can suggest the following:.
Then you could add the following to the startup. Samba, Transmission, etc. You could add the contents of startup. I think there are also issues with drives not necessarily being mounted when the rcS file is run. Ok, I will try option 1, although I was hoping I could just power on the Pogo and it would be accessible on Samba without having to turn on any computers and ssh in, but you are right, I should rarely need to reboot or shutdown the Pogo anyways, so maybe it will be ok.
So far so good. Now my only problem is that if I turn off the power, I have to restart the samba. I have heard of modifying the RCS file, but that could brick the unit…. So there is an easy way. And you dont need to go through the puty steps of login.. My only solution was to write a bat file that contained 3 lines to SSH plink commands that first login to the unit with login and password.
Then next to each line is each one of the startup samba command lines to first remount and then start samba. To do this simply use the following command in your batch file. Tried to run it with 3 commands for one plink.. Start whatever services you require below, e. Cool Guide I have the V4 and there were some changes I had to do during the prerequisites but I got it working now:.
Worked out of the box for me. Well, I do have two small issues:. Any Samba Idea why that is? Again I copy-pasted your instructions. Any idea why that might be??? Where is your script stored? I used killall hbwd but it shutdown everything. Is this supposed to happen? Is there a way I can achieve above other than just ejecting the drive from the pogoplug website?
Why do you want to block pogoplug. Got it working. Many thanks! Nothing to be done An error ocurred, return value: 4. Collected errors: Cannot find package samba2. Still very happy with my Pogoplug purchase thanks in part to you and your tutorials. I have one device in my setup that refuses to play nice. Seems to be a ghost town over there at least in term of SMB help. It may be that using Samba2 is going to make streaming to Wii impossible, but I thought you might be able to confirm that.
Just got a Pogo-v4. Not to happy with the purchase out of the box, but thanks for posting these awesome instructions. This is after all why I bought the dumb thing… Do any of your instructions need to be tweaked for the v4? Thanks for the advice! First of all thanks for all your help!!!! Amazing work!!!! Thanks much for these instructions. However, I just got a different macbook with Research on this topic is proving fruitless.
With Mountain Lion, Apple disabled support for older Samba protocols. You should be able to manually enable it by entering the following into your Mac Terminal:. This needs to be done on each boot, so maybe you could create an AppleScript to do that automatically for you.
Thanks for the reply. That is a fix for Lion, but not Mountain Lion. That command returns: net: class is not implemented when typed copied! Whoops, read your post too quickly! Only one problem is that I have some files with Chinese character file name. There are wrong encoding or something make it not display properly when look from windows WinXP explore. And you can not access those files with Chinese name as well.
Any idea what should check or set so it can display properly? Thanks a lot. Thanks for the excellent guide. I made the Samba server working even this is my first time play the Linux. I think many people will be benefit from your instruction. But one problem is that I have some file with Chinese name on hard disk. The files are created under WinXP. I tried to set the following in the smb. Everything is going smoothly, but one thing keeps bugging me, and so far I have yet to find a solution.
Sometimes, when I try to copy large files over 7GB from my windows 7 desktop to my fileserver, windows immediately reports that there is not enough space on the drive, which is not true. In the end, there is a file copied which is 0kb in size.
I was looking at getting a pogoplug v4, and setting it up a Samba server. Does anyone know if I can use these instructions on that version? Thank for the great tutorial, I have samba working on my PP pro only when I access it with my mac it reports free space only 64mb even when I have a 1tb drive attached. I know that is hard to imagine what could be wrong, but maybe you can help me with common mistakes or something like that.
Last week my windows 7 laptop stopped connecting to my pogoplug samba. Previously it had worked fine with the setup from this site. Everything still works on my linux computers. Did something change in windows which is causing the problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem. My problem with Windows 7 is that when I run the bat file to get the Samba running on E02 pogoplug it takes a while before it shows up as a network drive.
Sometimes 10 minutes or what I do is reboot and I see it. This really speeds up pogoplug…now I can see it in windows faster. It use to take time to see the pogoplug..
