Troubleshooting • Re: Trouble Attempting to create a NAS with two external drives using SAMBA on a Pi 5 with an NVMe

@hortimech: thanks for the plug

@OP:

Can't see your error. Was there meant to be an image?

For the future:

• We need more than just your share definitions. Next time post the output from

  Code:

  testparm -s

• You've also not told us more vital information:
  • Which "level" of windows your clients are running? Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.?
  • Did you create matching Samba and Linux users for your clients?
  • Are you trying to use guest access from the windows clients?

Before you reply with the above, I strongly suggest doing what hortimech suggests. Using ext4 (or another Linux native file system) instead of NTFS and reading my guide.

If those drives don't have their own power supplies I also strongly recommend putting a self powered USB hub between Pi and drives.

Lastly, if you really, really, must use NTFS (and about the only reason for doing so is if you will need to physically connect them to a windows box) it is possible but only if you don't care about security and modify the mount options for the drives and your smb.conf appropriately.
