[Bug 994075] Re: NTFS partition/volume cannot be shared via SMB

[RS Anders]

I have found a workaround for this, but it is still an issue in that it
does not work as one would expect out of the proverbial box.

Here are the things I needed on the 12.04 LiveCD:

1.  Install Samba via Dolphin (right-click a folder, then Properties, then the Share tab)
2.  Created a lesser user
This was simply a security precaution so my main user account password with sudo capability isn't saved on some smb-capable devices where it would be in plaintext.  You may also be able to do this just by "sudo smbpasswd -a user" rather than creating an entire user account.
3.  Logged in as user in order to create a password properly
4.  Install NTFS-config (sudo apt-get ntfs-config)
5.  "Sudo NTFS-config" and configure 
6.  "Sudo Dolphin" to share the folder, giving user full control.
7.  "Sudo service smbd restart"
