I've followed the ff instructions on how to set up a Raspberry Pi as a simple network storage device:
How to Turn a Raspberry Pi into a Low-Power Network Storage Device
However I ran into a problem at the step after setting up permissions. I assumed adding this to samba.conf
would set up the permissions:
[Backup]
comment = Backup Folder
path = /media/USBHDD1/shares
valid users = @users
force group = users
create mask = 0660
directory mask = 0771
read only = no
Unfortunately, no luck. The authentication steps afterward allowed readonly access to the storage device, but not write/modify access.
Any clues on what could be the problem?
