[PROBLEM] Samba not sharing external USB drive

[Deep6]

Just an update on something I tried.

Tried editing the shares.conf file in /etc/samba and added a section to share the DiskB drive. Rebooted (tried restarting samba only but it did nothing) and the drive got shared without any problems.
Obviously, I want to use the auto share feature, and not an explicit share, so I commented out that same section, rebooted again, and back to the same problem.

I'm no expert here, but It looks like the auto share feature is trying to share the DiskB in a folder inside the DiskA, but since I currently have the DiskA disconnected, it fails to share... That's just my guess...

Any comments on this?

thanks
