Samba read and write exporting a vfat partition from linux/intel
I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.0/Intel with samba-1.9.18p7-50.1. The PC I have has a hard disk with a /dev/hda1 which is a Win 95 partition and a /dev/hda3 which is a Linux partition. The mount looks like this: /dev/hda3 on / type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda1 on /win95 type vfat (rw,gid=100,umask=0002) and the gid=100 is the group users and contains only myself, chj. The mount point /win95 is owned by root.users and has rwx group permissions, and when mounting the /dev/hda1 partition as above I can, e.g., touch /win95/hello.txt and all is well. I also ``export'' the /win95 fs using samba. In the /etc/smb.con file, I have the following: [Win95] comment = Arnljot's Win 95 partition path = /win95 valid users = chj public = no writable = yes printable = no BUT, when using, e.g., Word, it *seems* that all I can do is read files, not write them back to the ``drive''. The complaint is that the disk is either full or that too many files are open... However, I can open files from that partition and I can save them to the home dir under the linux partition... So, I guess I've made something wrong here, but I can't seem to find information on the matter. If you do have any hints, please let me know. TIA, /ChJ
