Hi all,
Quail_Linux, people might be angry to me if i'm not looking/find solution in this forum or documentation.
I already follow the step.
my problem here is i have second hdd 80 GB in Fat32 format. inside the hdd already have around 60 GB data. what i want is to put it into my sme box so that i can acces all files including video and mp3.
when i follow the guide starting point at step 6, (after login root and type telinit 1 and eit fstab) it doesn't work for me. i type this command :-
1. chown admin:allstaff /mnt/bigdisk/mp3
it show >> chown: admin:allstaff': invalid group
i have existing group : executive
2. chown admin:executive /mnt/bigdisk/mp3
it show >> chown changing ownership of /mnt/big-disk/mp3': Operation not permitted.
so .. where is the mistake here. i cannot format my second hdd to ext3 because i dont have any spare hdd.
from my experience at RedHat9.0 it works when i push umask 775 and uid:executive,gid:executive at fstab. i can edit and remove file on the second hdd.
why at sme i cannot run all this ...
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The howto file is just a guide, and you have to change some of the commands to suit your needs.
eg:
chown admin:executive /mnt/yourHDD/whatever

Hrmm ...
i think i told all about is my problem.
my actual command is
chown admin:executive /mnt/data-bank/jukebox
but it show: Operation not permitted
so where is mistakes. i know the guide just a guideline. if no guide line i will not get this prompt. right?
anybody can find other solution.
if i can't change group permission i can't write it thru samba. the only can write is admin. becouse when i ls -l /mnt/data-bank it show permission 755. not 775

Hi,
try this:
chmod 775 /mnt/data-bank/jukebox
and then
chown admin:executive /mnt/data-bank/jukebox
Just an idea

oh i forgot to add:
If you have other stuff on your main drive that are assigned to the executive group check to see who the owner of the group is, cause for some silly reason it may not be admin.
Just another idea

May be you like to see what exactly i'm doing.
mkdir -p /data-bank
chown admin:executive /data-bank
chmod 775 /data-bank
ls -l /
drwxrwxr-x 2 admin executiv 4096 Apr 23 13:31 data-bank
edit fstab. ( using command from previous post)
mount -a
ls -l /
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 32768 Apr 23 13:34 data-bank
<try to change back the owner)
chown admin:executive /data-bank
give error : Operation not permitted
try chmod first :
chmod 775 /data-bank
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 32768 Jan 1 1970 /data-disk
<it's not work also>
