November 27, 201114 yr Hi, If I have a cache drive setup on /mnt/cache and I want apps running on a ubuntu server as user 'sp' to be able to write and create folders with in /mnt/... how do I set it up? Currently /mnt/<whatever> is set up as nobody:users. I have added a user call 'sp' to the group 'users' but this still does not work. When trying to create a file from the ubuntu server I get permission denied. Any suggestions? Regards, simpic

November 28, 201114 yr So is this sp user a user on the unRAID system or only on your Ubuntu server? Tapatalk is tha shizzle
November 28, 201114 yr Author sp is the user I installed ubuntu with. I have then created a user on unRAID called sp as well.
November 28, 201114 yr I still need to know the user and group and permission for the unRAID folders. Also, usernames and groups really don't mean much IF the uid and gid don't match. (some1 correct me if I am wrong) Tapatalk is tha shizzle
November 29, 201114 yr Author ubuntu server: #id sp uid=1000(sp) gid=1000(sp) groups=1000(sp),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),100(users),110(lpadmin),111(sambashare),112(admin) # egrep -i "users" /etc/group users:x:100:sp unRAID server # id sp uid=1003(sp) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) # egrep -i "users" /etc/group users:x:100: Infering from your comments that the UID need to be the same.... the're not! So I need to change them to be the same UID? I'll investigate.

Sorry, I hadn't seen this post when viewing on my iPhone within Tapatalk. So you're aware how SMB config settings work? Basically since I don't see a line that says "security" I believe smb defaults to "user" type security which means a user has to be authenticated against the share before it becomes available to even see it I THINK. So, from your ubuntu server when you issue the following commands what are the results? smbclient -L servername Mine would be smbclient -L dell it will ask for your password, I am assuming you're attempting to run smbtree using this user you're calling sp, that's what I want you to do. Now when it asks for your password enter the password of the sp user on the remote unRAID machine (are passwords the same, makes it so much easier!). It should return a list like this. smbclient -L dell Enter daniel's password: Domain=[LINUX] OS=[unix] Server=[samba 3.4.7] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- recordings2 Disk MythTV secondary folder on dell 500gb Disk 500gb storage on dell 500gb1 Disk 500gb1 storage on dell fat32_movies Disk Movies on dell fat32 Disk Movies on dell music2 Disk Music2 folder on dell mythtv Disk Mythtv folder on dell recordings Disk TV Recordings on dell videos Disk Mythtv videos on dell music Disk Mythtv music on dell pictures Disk Pictures folder on dell IPC$ IPC IPC Service (dell) Domain=[LINUX] OS=[unix] Server=[samba 3.4.7] Server Comment --------- ------- CORE2DUO core2duo DELL dell WINXP dans windows computer Workgroup Master --------- ------- LINUX DELL whats that showing me is available shares to the user daniel, again I THINK...... (little disclaimer: I don't claim to be an expert in SMB file sharing but can only help based on my experience) now you know the exact share name and servername so issue the following smbclient \\\\servernameorip\\sharename youpasswordhere obviously fill in YOUR info so my example would be like this smbclient \\\\dell\\mythtv 'xxxxxxxxxxxx' NOTE: my password has to be within quotes because it contains special characters. meaning I hit shift and a number to get an @ symbol for example into my password you should be shown this: Domain=[LINUX] OS=[unix] Server=[samba 3.4.7] smb: \> now lets try to create a directory using the following command mkdir testing IF it worked then ssh into the server and issue an ls -la command to see who the owner and permissions on the dir you created. GOOD LUCK
November 29, 201114 yr Author Hi, Thank you for your reply.

November 29, 201114 yr Yeap, I'll get ya all fixed but I need to be at a terminal that's easy to use so I can check my own setup. The iPhone terminal is really weird and not fun to quickly get all what I want do done for ya. So, within probably the hour I'll respond again once I'm at my computer. ;-) Tapatalk is tha shizzle

Ok, so you did say that your UID and GID for user sp do NOT match on ubuntu as they are in unRAID correct? Well, mine just all works because my user on my workstation is the same user on my server, same meaning not only name but UID and GID as well which is 1000. I have never messed with the uid and or gid but I believe you can tell you fstab on your ubuntu machine to mount is using certain uid and gid such that when it writes to it it's acting like it is the sp user from the unRAID server.
November 30, 201114 yr Author Looks like I have got it working by changing the UID & GID to be the same, then chmod & chgrp on all the shares SAB or Sickbeard need to access. Just need to sort the fstab now... Can someone help convert the following mount command into something that will work in fstab... sudo mount -t cifs -o user=sp,password=*********,UID=10000,GID=100,rw //192.168.1.10/tv /mnt/tv Thanks :-)

I am a member over on ubuntuforums.org and now that I know unRAID is really just custom webgui accessing bascially the linux kernel, much support can be found over there or even just google.

December 2, 201114 yr Author Hi, Thanks for all your help. I have managed to figure it out! Not entirely sure it's all done in the correct fashion but at the moment it works. The unRAID shares have to be set up like so in the /etc/samba/smb-shares.conf... [tv] path = /mnt/user/tv comment = TV Shows Repository browseable = yes read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 guest ok = Yes # Public public = yes writeable = yes With the appropriate name for the share. Then the ubuntu server user has to be created on the unRAID server with the same UID and added to the users group. The fstab entries are as follows: - //192.168.1.10/tv /mnt/tv cifs user=sp,password=**********,gid=100,uid=10000 0 0 I guess I could put the creds in a file if I really wanted to, but right now I would just like to watch some stuff rather than playing with the damn boxes!

Glad you are all sorted out! SMB is a tricky beast with many settings/tuning that can mess things up especially when using "user" level security BUT that's the most secure. The smb.conf man page being over 7250 lines it's overwhelming to set up SMB correctly. Yes, you should have your credentials in a file BUT really doesn't matter if you're only streaming internally IMO.
