Here's my problem: Unicoled-mounted USB-stick on LTSP-terminal is readable with Nautilus, but writable only with cp.

I tested my setup with KDE. There USB "just works".

So the problem seems to be poor Nautilus/Samba integration, as explained here: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/ LtspFS#Installing_FUSE_on_Fedora_Core
      "Samba doesn't properly deal with very small filesystems, such as
      1.4mb floppies. The filesystem size appears as zero, causing

Someone may find my solution useful so here it is:

I found out that the mounted usb-partition (Desktop/Drives/usb) is writable in every other programme except Nautilus. Even in Nautilus the mount is writable if the user connects directly to the usb-share. So here is what I decided to do:

1) In every terminal I opened Nautilus and bookmarked "smb://ltspNNN.domain.tld/usb" as "USB-stick". When connected directly to smb Nautilus behaves right: it can read and write. Donwside: works only if users have dedicated machines: if user from ltsp001 logs in from ltsp002, his bookmark still points to ltsp001 e.g. a wrong machine's usb. For me this is not a problem, because office workers have their own terminals (they don't even know what "terminal" means, for them they are just "silent computers" :-)

2) I can now instruct users that from program-menus (OpenOffice etc) it is possible to save to USB with save-command. In Nautilus opening the "USB" from Desktop makes is read-only, but selecting "USB-stick" from menu makes is also writable. Not an ideal solution, but something that I can live with untill I get ltspfs working...
