From: Tomas Mackevicius on 16 Jun 2008 22:40 I'm running Samba on Ubuntu server. I know, perhaps it is not related with Ubuntu Server 8.04, but rather with Samba itself, but I thought perhaps someone has similar experience... I have a couple of shares on Samba on a vfat (fat32) volume. As everybody knows Linux permissions does not work on vfat, except on mount folder where vfat partition is mounted. I though that is really not a minus, but a plus if you want to create share for 10-15 users, because then it's not necessary to mess with all those permissions. So, recently I have noticed, that I cannot delete some of the files on that share, even if the share is mounted with fstab option: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/320gb/disk_c vfat utf8,noatime,umask=007,gid=1003 0 0 I have tried umask=000, but that didn't help either... Interesting part is that I could delete most of the files, but not those couple. I compared permissions of the "normal" files and those "bad" ones from the Windos XP box. Normal files had All permissions available in comparison with bad files that had only Read-Execute and Read permissions available. On server permissions looked like this: Normal file: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root server1 6158201 1999-05-05 21:36 Alex Gopher - Super Disco.mp3 Bad file: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root server1 2568192 2001-10-04 16:52 Bjork - All Is Full Of Love.mp3 I realized that some of the "bad" files where copied to vfat partition from CD drive (when this HDD was still on a windows PC). So the logical thinking would suggest, that those files have Read Only mark (which is usually given to all files that are copied from CD). Knowing this I tried to play with smb.conf options: delete readonly = Yes map readonly = No / Yes I didn't get any results. I tried to change other map options but with no results either. Permissions were not intact. My Only idea is that somehow Samba is interpreting Read-Only flag and that affects the file permissions. I would really appreciate any comments or ideas. Here are the settings of my share: [320GB_C_full] path = /mnt/320gb/disk_c/ available = Yes browseable = Yes read only = No follow symlinks = No hide dot files = Yes delete readonly = Yes case sensitive = No preserve case = Yes map archive = Yes map system = No map hidden = No map readonly = No guest ok = No oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No Thanks to all. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba |
