Hi All,
I am trying to access the usb device through the samba.After device is
mapped through the samba I am trying to open the device in my samba
code to get the information of the device. My device is detected as
below.
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Dec 31 1969 /dev/sda1.
But through samba a different user will be logging in and trying to
access the device.In my samba code i am trying to open the device to
get the file descriptor and its info.I am following steps to open the
device.
fs = get_fs();
set_fs(get_ds());
if ( ( fd = sys_open("/dev/sda1",O_RDONLY,660)) < 0)){
printk( " ");
}
set_fs();
When try to do this i will get the error saying.
"Error in opening the device file -13"
But before opening if I change the group manually as below.
chgrp -R user /dev/sda1
I am able to open the device.
Please anybody can u tellme if there is any way to open my device
without changing the group manually.
I am using linux-2.6 kernel and my device will be automounted as
/dev/sda1 /content/media/sda1 type vfat (rw, noexec,nosuid, nodev,umask=0).
Thanks,
Deepak
