Yes, the POHD mounts the devices as read only. I’ve actually written a script to remount them as rw. Only thing is that it isn’t automatic. But it actually detects all USB mounts and remount them as read write.

You can check out the script Remount all read-only usb mounts as read-write.

hongfai: The problem lies in the mouting of /tmp/usbmounts/sdb1 (my external hd), it’s mounted with the ro (read-only option). Do a remount using the following command:

mount -o remount rw /tmp/usbmounts/sdb1

This works great during the session but after a reboot it works no more..
How to make it persistent? Adding the line to the configsamba or some other config file?

I had some trouble copying the lines in with putty but after I figured out how to do a backspace (ctrl+h) I could correct the dots into quotation marks.

Now I indeed have an extra share folder ‘All’ showing my usb-drives

..but I cannot create/write to them over the network.. I can delete from them..

Any ideas?

Is it possible to subtract the whole script from Notepad++ and post it? I’ve been tinkering around for the whole afternoon and I cannot get it done . I tried to follow your steps one by one with a telnet connection but that didn’t work out and I’ve checked in notepad++ for the 2 lines you reffer to
Quote:
The chunk of text should be entered right after the done (for the loop) and just before the line “/tmp/package/script/samba-security anonymous”

and they are far behind the (98 and 99) the other echo lines. It would be great when you are able to post the script so I can find out what i did wrong and have my little DOH!-moment

That’s good for you. I can’t view USB device over network on mine prior to editing the script.

I am using 2089 beta as well. You should insert those lines just after the “done” for the loop and just before the line calling “samba-security anonymous”

I’m trying your procedure but my configsamba has 99 lines so doing /done twice must put me somewhere else than you because at the end it doesn’t work.

Could u specify exactly where the echo’s should be placed. Also what firmware are you using (i’m on 2089_beta) as it’s quite odd to have different lenght in the configsamba file.

Thanks
