$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('moonman', 'I') suppose he's looking for reliability more than anything else.

Just use the guide to setup samba instead of swat. You will save yourself some time


You're right about SWAT. The key for Samba was to just start using a SIMPLE conf file, and then just play with a few variables and eventually I got it working. The problem I was having was that Win7 across different domains in my home network (work PC and home PC) they were always asking for user name/password. I finally just entered my username, but left the password blank. It then started working, am guessing Win7 was making this harder than it should've.

Here's my simple conf file for samba - feel free to comment/add to it:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
load printers = no
null passwords = true
browsable = yes
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes
unix extensions = no
security = user
hosts allow = 10.0.1.0/24
netbios name = WEBSERVER
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spoolss = yes
log file = /var/log/samba%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no

[home]
path = /home/<myname>
read only = no
')

You know about the wiki here right? http://www.archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/applications/samba

i would suggest adding socket options to speed things up and force user=root to get rid of the password prompt (if you want it to work this way of course)

Ext3 is just more reliable even if you don't have any power outages. It never happened in 3 years where I live but I still had problems with ext2. Though it will defenetely decrease lifespan of your flash drive, that's why I just used an old laptop h-drive and bought a $3 enclosure on ebay for it.
