I've never heard of drives as big as the ones you're talking about. I did read last year that 4TB drives were just around the corner. I think I must have been asleep for the past year and missed all the excitement

Yes, have had the exact same problem, with setting up my Server with Ubuntu 12.4. Your solution worked for me also, which means I'm rocking and rolling again after spending a day trying to resolve this issue. Thanks IanIan wrote:Hi there,
You're not the first person to hit either of these problems so clearly my guide is not up to par.![]()
I suspect this new issue is down to you not giving write permissions in Ubuntu for the relevant folder(s). So, assuming you have given write permission in Samba (when you set the samba share up in webmin) then you need to go into putty and tell Ubuntu you want people to be able to write to that folder. The easiest way to do this is to give "everyone" permission:
Then try and write to it again.Code: Select all
sudo chmod -R o+w /media/Yourfolder

Code: Select all
ls -l /media
Code: Select all
sudo chmod -R o+w /home/myusername/SharedF
