Topic: I need to share this dir

[tviles]

Sorry I just need some help so that I can make this visible on the network. If you need more just tell me what commands to enter and I will reply back. Thanks Tracy I tried to follow along the add disk procedure but I must have missed something.

Hi

If you NEED this exact directory to be shared, search for smb.conf  on google, an create a template to share it.

I´d like to suggest you to create an ibay and put the conten there...inside files or html (depends how it will be accessed) but I´m not sure why you need to share THIS directory.
Could you explain ?

Regards
Jáder

Server crashed due to bad scsi drives running SME software. All the data was being stored on this 1TB sata drive sitting in belly of server and it is still good. The 1TB drive was a symlink'd ibay before crash. Have reloaded SME after replacing bad drives. I can see this data on the 1TB and if I could share it out I could map the users to it so they could continue working.

[tviles]

I can't create a ibay on the newly installed SME server that would hold enough data. It runs on the older 36 gig scsi's. The 1 TB has about 200 gig of data on it.

[tviles]

I have created an ibay called police and trying to symlink it to the folder on the 1tb.

I have created an ibay called police and trying to symlink it to the folder on the 1tb.

create the ibay.. let's say its name is police

then edit your /etc/fstab file and ad a line like this

Code: [Select]

/dev/sdX1                /home/e-smith/files/ibays/police/files                   ext3    defaults        0 0

where sdX1 is the right disk and partition

save and reboot your server

when it's up & running, open server-manager, edit that ibay (i.e. change the owner group) and save.. then repeat the action resetting the right group

done
HTH

[tviles]

This is what I have in the fstab file now.
I added the sda1 line and server does reboot fine with this.
Let me reread your last post again and thanks for the help.

[Stefano]

you did not add the line as I suggested, it will not work as you wish..

[tviles]

Rebooting now.

Stefano I love you! Thanks so much. Now I can start getting the desktop reconnected to the domain.

Stefano I love you!

This is rather unusual. Your raid system apparently does not include /dev/sda and does not include /dev/hda. What does:

cat /proc/mdstat

show?

[tviles]

Go ahead and tell me even if it is bad.
sda is a sata 1tb on a pci to sata card.

[root@shpdserver ~]# cat /proc/mdstat

sda was not part of the raid before the crash it was a symlink ibay for shared data. When I reloaded the sme server software I left sda unplugged.

See how I have now plugged sdg back in now? It is the last backup. It is an external 1TB usb hard drive. I believe the data on there was over a week old. It (sdg) does (should) contain the private networked drives (users) information I believe. I would like to access that but not sure if I can create an ibay like I did with sda so that I could pick and choose from it. Example is if I setup a user called shpd15 he can see on his desktop a shared ibay (police) and a private network drive called shpd15. Most users never put any data into the private network drive called shpd15 but some did. I'm sure some of them will ask for that data soon. Although sdg is plugged in I do not have any backup's scheduled yet so as to not overwrite data on sdg.
