Title:
Ubuntu 11.10 cannot create a network share on a drive that needs to be
mounted
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
When right clicking on a folder and opening the 'Sharing' tab in the
'Properties' window, I am able to configure a network share on a
mounted drive using the ext4 file-system, however when I try to find
the share in the network it says: "Unable to mount location".
After some research I noticed the 'smb.conf' file did not include the mounted drive (see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/smb.conf.5.html).
So I added it manually and restarted the Samba service, now everything works like a charm.
It would be nice if Ubuntu did this automatically, since a non-power
user would not be able to figure this out.
