GoFlex Satellite

[Lusid1]

There is a satellite_resume script in rc5.d that is called by the power management process. You should be able to kill and restart samba from that script.

Right, I think part of the problem is that when the drive has a fresh start the media share is media/sda1. I link a folder on the root named opt to media/sda1/opt because of the limited space on root. When the drive returns from sleep it switches to media/sdb1 and then that breaks the script in S80samba to be able to start it back up. So I have corrected the script and I will run some testing today, I admit I was a bit supprised that it actully mounts a different folder under media when it returns from sleep.

The swap process is the cause of this, hopefully I can resolve soon because with samba2 install being about 19meg and only having 19.1 meg free on root I don't feel to comfortable installing it there.

[Lusid1]

That explains a lot. I hadn't noticed that behavior.

Try linking to /static/Data/1 instead

[GTVEVO]

Thanks for the suggestion, that was the ticket. Below I have tried to document what I did to help anyone else. Everyone keep in mind before I installed samba2 I linked a folder in / as opt so the samba2 install would push it to the mounted drive of /media/sda1 due to space constraints.

after install of samba2 

copy the  original S80samba to S99samba (make it start later) into the /etc/rc5.d folder, this will cause it to run at startup or reboot but not at resume from sleep

     cp /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba /etc/rc5.d/S99samba

update my symbolic links for the opt folder if you installed through a linked folder on the mounted drive, this is done because the swap process changes mounts when the drive goes to

sleep, first be sure to remove any opt linked folders if you already have them then add.

     ln -s /static/Data/1/opt opt

Add a static drive share for SMB to read also, in the smb.conf file for the share of [Media] I have an address of /smbMedia
     ln -s/static/Data/1/ smbMedia

To resume from sleep you must call the smb start again and this can be done by adding your call to the end of the satellite_resume script in rc5.d

     vi /etc/rc5.d/satellite_resume

Add your line and call S99samba again to restart samba2

     /etc/rc5.d/S99samba

I am recalling this off the top of my head so keep that in mind, one other thing is due to the swap process it does seem to take 20-30 secs for SMB to be valid after resumed from sleep.

Hello,

I have install samba2 and i try to connect but what is the default username and password and i don't have made change in smb.conf file .

can you help me?

[Queviko]

Dear All,

I did succeed to install Samba 2.2.

Nevertheless, when I try to access the GoFlex Satellite from my iPad client, it is asking me for credentials "Please enter user name and password to connect smb://192.168.0.1:" - login & password requested.

I've tried the root/goflex username/password, but it does not work.

Any idea how to setup the right credentials?

Thanks in advance,

Jean-Frederic

It would be most helpful if you could post your /etc/samba/smb.conf. File.
You might want to search this file for a "host allow". Setting and make sure it reflects your network settings.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Here is the /opt/etc/smb.conf

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

Not sure what you are trying to do here, however I believe you want something more like

hosts allow 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.
Or
hosts allow 127.0.0.1 192.168.1. 192.168.2.

Note that there is not a leading ";" the first example should allow any machine within the range 192.168.1.* to connect as well as the satellite to connect. The second version should allow anything in the range of 192.168.1.* or 192.168.2.* and the satellite to connect.

[JAmezquita]

The hosts allow is commented out, so that point is null and void.

You need to replace vaild 'users = root' with 'force user = root' and change /media/sda1 to /static/Data/1 or when the satellite resumes from sleep it won't be a valid share anymore.
