So what is the content the the section for 'Films' in the file at /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf As I said, it will take precedence over whatever you attempted to set up in smb-extras.conf .... By the way, you can write your own smb.conf file save it to your flash drive. Then write a BASH script (which could be called in the 'go' file) which stops samba after the server boots, copy your file over to the proper spot on the RAM drive >>> /etc/samba <<< and restart samba. It will then restart and be using your settings. (It has been more that eight years since I have done any thing remotely like that you you will have to work through that Samba Manaual and figure out exactly how to get everything working.) Thanks Frank Thats the way i shall be heading Thank you

If i can refer back to the original question i can get the system working as i want but will not survive a reboot without editing again this is what i put in smb.conf, and it works [global] [Films] comment = Films path = /mnt/user/Films public = yes writable = no I have tried putting same code into boot/configsmb-extra.conf but will still not survive a reboot i understand what youre saying about samba.conf resides in ram so does not survive reboot, just looking at alternative ways to get what i need , i do my editing with notepad++ so should not be a problem looking at a bit more coding to get what i want, but i am not skilled in that area (learning slowly) so am stumped at the moment

Has anyone had any success keeping samba.conf after reboot, either by editing /boot/config/smb-extra.conf or entries into GO script.? Could someone please provide example of coding needed if its at all possible thanks

have tried making changes to /boot/config/smb-extra.conf no joy cant get it to work. have tried it for both folders /boot/config/smb-extra.conf & /boot/config/smb-extra.conf˜ which is the correct folder anyways??

Hi Anyone know how to edit /etc/samba.conf so that it will persist through reboots? i have tried editing file and tested its use and works fine for what i want (have media player accessing unraid box) But every time i reboot, my changes to config have gone and player doesnt work! Help pls

Very weird Switched my server off when iI went out came back 8 hours later and it's all working OK now. I did reboot it numerous times previously.. Strange one.. But all working now. Thanks

Hi I can't log into my system by ip or name, only got access via console command prompt. Previously was messing about with my smb network shares folder, just opening up access permissions from Windows 7 computer to try and get an old media player box on my network. Now I have nothing working is this now a permissions problem and how can I fix from command prompt thanks
