samba - Nov 2001 - Help: Can't access share on mounted disk...

I intended to create a share of a newly added hardisk(one partition) for
public access. I declared the mount point in /etc/fstab as something
like this,

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/individual ext2 defaults 1 2

now, when i try to access the share from Window's browse list, it report
that 'the share is not accessible, the network name cannot be found'.
Any idea why? any clue would be appreciated.

TQ.

Eric,

While you may have mounted your partition under your native Linux file
system, did you create the share in your smb.conf file?

You probably should include this file when submitting posts here so that
people can better understand your situation and thusly be able to offer
assistance.

Sincerely,

Bruce P. Morin
