Hi list.
I seem to have a bit of a dilemma here, and I was wondering if anyone
would care to volunteer some thoughts? I purchased a Maxtor 300gb
external USB drive, and attached it to one of my computers - a Compaq
Presario 5000 running a fresh installation of Fedora Core 4 that I
download a couple of days ago.
Everything seemed to be working correctly. I blew away the partition
that was on the Maxtor drive and created a new one, and mounted the
drive up as usual. Now here is the wierd part: from the box, everything
is working fine. I can copy backups onto the drive, and use it as
normal. When I try to share out a directory on the drive using Samba,
however, I receive errors from the client machine which prevent access
to the directory on the USB drive. In the error log, I have a single
message which tells me that the "<directory in the filesystem> does not
exist or is not a directory, when connecting to <sharename>."
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
This is probably an SELinux issue. Is the partition you're trying to use
a Linux partition or is it formatted VFAT?
What's the output of:
# audit2allow -i /var/log/messages -l
# audit2allow -i /var/log/audit/audit.log -l
