Displaying items by tag: shared folders

1. Login to the zentayal server and get to a shell; Switch to root user.

2. Mount the partition where u want the share to be. Setup correctly under /etc/fstab as follows. ( /u is my mountpoint for my 2nd disk  ( partitioned  /dev/sdb1 )

sudo fdisk -l   o   sudo lsblk individua le partizioni e i dischi

es: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Skliros_Diskos (montare una partizione ntfs al volo ma meglio non fare questo ma sotto montare all'avvio con le giuste acl per zentyal)

sudo nano /etc/fstab (per far automontare la partizione all'avvio)

    /dev/sdb1 /u      ext4    errors=remount-ro,acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota,acl  0       1
   
     or
 
   UUID=54fc9f7f-d13d-4649-b104-1584d4e7cd96       /u      ext4    errors=remount-ro,acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota,acl  0       1

a.   From terminal, make the mount point, mkdir /u

b.  then do a mount -a , to mount the disk at /u.

3. Change the ownership of the mountpoint /u to root and the group to domain users.
 
    sudo chown root:domain\ users /u

4. Create a folder that you want to share. cd to /u
 
    sudo mkdir Folder1

5. Change the ownership and group of the folder
 
    sudo chown -R root:domain\ users Folder1
    then
    sudo chmod -R 770 /u/Folder1

6. Now go to the zentayal web interface under File Sharing,. create a new share.
    Share name = Folder1
    Share Path = Select filesystem path, type in /u/Folder1.
    Comment = Whatever you like
    Tick Apply ACLS recursively.

7.  Click Add, then Save Changes, the samba module should return success, i.e share created without any errors.

8. Add an ACL for the Folder1 share.
