Read only ext3 HDD with smb access - ggmero67 - 19th Oct, 2014 01:59 AM Hello everyone, I finally post this bug after having read all (?) other topics concerning my problem without managing to solve it: Xbian automounts my external HDD formated in ext3. Using xbmc I can read/write to it without any issue. By connecting to my raspberry with ssh, i can also rw to the disk without issue. Problem comes when I try to write to the disk using my Win PC on the same network. I already went to usbmout.conf and allows SHARESMB, SHARERW and SHARELT. I also went to xbmc and tried to allow "write for outside world" or something like that. Unfortunately this option wont stay active, i don't know why... I also reinstall to xbian-package-samba... Nothing works, and I am quite annoyed because transmission is downloading my torrents very well, but I have to launch ssh to copy them to the right folder, which is not quite handy. PS: I have Xbian RC3, updated last week (for some strange reason i cannot update anymore) Best regards and thanks in advance! Only Read Access to External USB Drives - GastonBA - 27th May, 2016 01:52 PM Hello, I just finish a second clean install of Xbian on my Cubox and when accessing the external drives I get only read access. I set Xbian to expert mode and select options from menu to make disks writable, but there is no way. The drives are always read only. They are both EXT3 formatted. I try editing Samba Conf and the options SHARESMB and SHARERW are both set to "yes". Please help. I´m newbie in linux so please give me detailed instructions. Thanks, Gastón RE: Read only ext3 HDD with smb access - GastonBA - 27th May, 2016 01:56 PM Hi, had you solved this? I´m having the same issue with no solution! Thanks RE: Read only ext3 HDD with smb access - Nachteule - 27th May, 2016 10:47 PM @GastonBA Just tested. Having full access to my ext4 formatted external disk.

I'm supposing this is your problem RE: Read only ext3 HDD with smb access - GastonBA - 28th May, 2016 11:39 AM Yes! The disks where already in use with OpenElec. So I think the last line is my problem. "xbian has write permissions" How do I do this? I´m not a linux user Thanks! I solved it with your help as I know what I was looking for. Thanks!!!
