Hello I encountered the following problem on my Ubuntu 8.10 using Samba 3.2.3: I want to share two ntfs partions - one is a primary partion (sda4), the second one is a logical drive (sda5) in an extended partion (the primary partion is physical after the extended partion on the disk). On both partions I have read/write access on ubuntu. fstab: # /dev/sda5 UUID=645CF7E35CF7ADC4 /ntfsdata ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 # /dev/sda4 UUID=50C350FE04562A52 /ntfsmedia ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 If I share them using samba, I am only able to write on the extended partion despite the fact that both mountpoints are equally entered in smb.conf: [ntfsmedia] writeable = yes path = /ntfsmedia [ntfsdata] writeable = yes path = /ntfsdata This strange behaviour seems to be a bug in samba, as I can use them without any problem in the system. Unfortunately I did not find a similar problem in other bug reports. Kind regards Helmut P.S.: this is my first report on Bugzilla - so I hope that I made everything alright.
Can you add a debug level 10 log of the writes failing please ? Jeremy.
Created attachment 4046 [details] Level 10 log file I tried 2 times to create a new directory on the ntfs partion 'ntfsdata'. It fail with the error message: "Error while creating directory - Read-only file system". Another ntfs partion 'ntfsmedia', which is a primary partion, causes no error during the same operation! P.S.: I added in smb.conf under [global] the following lines # Debug logging information log level = 10 # log file = /var/log/samba.log.%m max log size = 50 debug timestamp = yes
Please remove the "max log size = 50". This rotates away anything useful. Thanks, Volker
Created attachment 4053 [details] Level 10 log file without log size limit consider only date 2009.04.03! I tried to create a folder and a file on the ntfs partion in the extended partion - error "read-only file system". After that I created a new folder on the ntfs partion in the primary partion - no problem! regards Heli
I like to see the version of module NTFS-3G because this module can to mount the partion NTFS in write and read
(In reply to comment #5) > I like to see the version of module NTFS-3G because this module can to mount > the partion NTFS in write and read > How can I figure out the version of the NTFS-3G module? In fact I could not find any package with this name on my system. Additionally I had a look on ntfs-3g.org - I found the following line /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 that should be entered in fstab - in my case there is only "ntfs" instead of "ntfs-3g".
Message from the log file: [2009/04/03 21:27:51, 3] smbd/open.c:open_file(254) Permission denied opening new file That's clearly something coming from the kernel. I'm closing this as invalid, I'm 100% certain this is a ntfs on linux problem. Please re-open if you can reproduce this on ext3. Thanks, Volker
