[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
Why is NTFS drives mounted with root as the owner of all the files? When I connect a drive with my Files I want them to be owned by me, not root? -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

@Martin: probably because you tell the system to mount it like that. I suppose it's defined in a system-wide /etc/fstab and without any specific option it will mount at boot-time as owner root (can't guess you will want to use it as user foo).

I also confirm this bug. After changing the ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab from umask=007 to umask=000 and adding the line: usershare owner only = false to the global section in /etc/samba/smb.conf my problem was solved.

[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
The default setting is there for security reasons. Usershare is, by default, limited to sharing a directory that you own. I agree that nautilus-share could be a little more user-friendly and detect this special case, but it's not a bug. ** Package changed: gnome-vfs (Ubuntu) = nautilus-share (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Wishlist ** Changed in: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Changed in: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Assignee: Basilio Kublik (sourcercito) = (unassigned) -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
As Carasof's reply details, that message is now displayed in the Sharing Options dialog, and following it's instructions allows you to share the folder successfully. However, this is not a very user-friendly way of allowing NTFS drive sharing, would shipping the default smb.conf with usershare onwer only = false be a better long term solution? A better method would simply be a confirmation box that popped up when sharing an NTFS folder that explained the security risks of enabling this setting, asking for confirmation, and then doing the smb.conf change automatically. Every time I have to go into a config file when using Ubuntu, I feel it has somehow let me down. -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
this bug report is confusing several issues into one, and the initial poster mixed up uid and umask in a confusing way. to summarise: 1)have uid of your user means you can share the folder without having to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf (or you could just share it running nautilus in root ie gksu nautilus). 2)having umask of 000 means computers on the network can actually access the share (the dialog about automatically changing permissions does not work as ntfs/vfat doesnt support individual file permissions, so if it wants to change permissions it has got to edit /etc/fstab which it doesnt know how to do). i made a new bug report bug #255391, which pulls out one of the issues (the umask one) which at least endolith seems to be suffering from. this might be more useful -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I can also confirm this. It is not possible to share NTFS folders on samba. If I use gksu nautilus, it is possible to share it and show up on the network, but the folder cannot actually be opened. -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
I can also confirm this bug. Sharing NTFS simply does not work out-of- the-box on Hardy due to the permissions errors. Using gksudo nautilus worked for me, as well as adding uid=1000 to the options column in /etc/fstab. However these really are just work arounds, and neither method is ideal. What more information is necessary to get this bug to be Confirmed instead of invalid? Several people have said this is an issue for them, and I see no requests for additional information. Also, should this not be of higher priority? Many users who still need to use windows probably have files and documents stored on NTFS drives which they need to share. This is one of the most glaring bugs I am have seen in Hardy. -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
I went through the upgrade to hardy process a little over a week ago and I run into a serious problem which is very much related to this. I basically have two 500GB USB harddrives formatted as NTFS connect to my Ubuntu machine. On these drives I have over 20 different SMB shares each and the upgrade process automatically DELETED ALL MY SHARES WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER AND WITH NO CHANCE OF RECOVERY. This caused a some serious downtime problems for me. On top of that, once I got hardy up and running I could not even fix these problems because hardy will, as the bug explains, not let you share files owned by root due to the usershare owner only = False flag being default in Ubuntu. Imagine all the people that are running small servers with NTFS partitions like I do. This is not a nice experience for them during upgrade. The bug that I filed about the broken upgrade process was closed as a duplicate of this bug (even though they are in fact slightly different). Please have a look at my original bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/214714 Sharing folders on NTFS drives is an important use case and it worked perfectly in previous versions of Ubuntu (so this is a regression and people are very unforgiving about regressions). I'd very much give my vote to fixing this before (or soon after) the hardy release. -- Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 175689] Re: Share Folder in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders
I marked your bug as a duplicate because the root issue seemed the same. If this was in error I apologize. I certainly agree that there needs to be a warning on upgrade that shares may be lost. It may be too late to fix the actual regression before Hardy's release, but there really should be a warning so people don't run into this blindly.
