usbmount + samba permissions

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2922 / 3 Years ago, fri, june 4, 2021, 9:32:21

I installed usbmount package on ubuntu server lucid 10.04. It worked fine. I just plug in my USB flash. The server detects it and automatically mounts it under /media/usb0.

I want this USB folder to be available as samba share. I want it to be available to everyone with full control. The problem is that the usbmount mounts it using default permissions with root as owner.

Any idea how I can configure the usbmount to do this?

You set ownership and permissions in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf

The file is well commented, you are looking for the section

# For example, "-fstype=vfat,gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" would add

# the options "gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" when a vfat filesystem

# is mounted.

FS_MOUNTOPTIONS=""

Enter in your options in the "FS_MOUNTOPTIONS=" line.

Example, to allow user and group, but deny otheres:

uid=your_uid,gid=your_gid,dmask=0077,fmask=0177

See man mount for options or identify the file system (NTFS / FAT) if you need assistance.
