You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- Ubuntu 11.10 cannot create a network share on a drive that needs to be mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server/Client Support Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~enterprise-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~enterprise-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
