but I don’t see this share in windows 10 at all. I’m new to samba - i tried mounting network drive in W10 using \\turris\ntfs, \\192.168.1.1\ntfs and \\ntfs but no luck.
What am I doing wrong? Also, what is the correct address of the samba share given my configuration?
Can you confirm that you have installed both of these packages?
samba36-server
Description of this package:
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB protocol for UNIX systems, allowing you to serve files and printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or Netbios protocol.
luci-app-samba
Description of this package:
Network Shares - Samba SMB/CIFS module
I guess you have this installed, because you are able to configure it through the webinterface (luCi)
If yes, could you post your smb.conf file.
How to get this.
Step 1: SSH to your Turris
Step 2: type cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
It looks like I was missing smb.conf file. All I had was smb.conf.template, I have created it’s copy and now it is working … though I have followed the tutorial steps in link provided by Filip, so I’m not sure which helped.
I will do some checks now but I’m sure I’ll now be able to tweak the settings to my liking.
The USB drive is always mounted into /tmp/run/mountd/sda1 after rebooting turris router. Why? I want to mount it into specific location using service/init script but none seem to work (probably because it is already mounted automatically?)
This /tmp/run/mountd/sda1 is going to be mounted automatically by “mountd”, after you disable this service you will have no more this mount point.
Automount which you show in Luci is refers to setting of service “fstab”
