Setting up Samba on my Gizmo 2

As described in my previous blog I have setup my Gizmo 2 to become my NAS. Now it is time to enable Samba so I can access the volumes with my Windows machines.

Installation

• yum install -y samba samba-client

Security

• useradd pi
• passwd pi
• smbpasswd -a pi
• smbpasswd -L -e pi
• groupadd fastvol
• groupadd safevol
• usermod -a -G fastvol pi
• usermod -a -G safevol pi

Permissions

• chown -R pi:fastvol /mnt/fastvol
• chown -R pi:safevol /mnt/safevol
• chmod -R 0777 /mnt/fastvol
• chmod -R 0777 /mnt/safevol
• chcon -t samba_share_t /mnt/fastvol
• chcon -t samba_share_t /mnt/safevol

Configuration

• vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

[fastvol]
        path = /mnt/fastvol
        valid users = @fastvol
        writable = yes
        read only = no
        browsable = yes
        guest ok = no
        create mode = 0777
        directory mode = 0777

[safevol]
        path = /mnt/safevol
        valid users = @safevol
        writable = yes
        read only = no
        browsable = yes
        guest ok = no
        create mode = 0777
