I copied the smb.conf from my raspberry pi to this one, and voila, it works now. So it must've been the default smb.conf that was causing the problem. Taking a look at the default smb.conf, it looked very out of date (i.e., it mentioned Windows NT and such). So I think this is a problem that people will have if they try to use the default smb.conf that comes with the install.

This still doesn't work:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@pogo ~]# systemctl status samba
samba.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

[root@pogo ~]#')

Do I need to worry?

Another thing I'm noticing is that when I try to copy large files (>100MB), it takes quite some time for it to start. The larger the file, the longer the lead time. I just tried to copy a 700MB file, and it took a good 20 seconds for it to start.

I still have the same problem following your suggestions. I somehow know where the problems are. Even after I change the permission using chmod 777, the write permission is still not granted to other users. Only root has the write permission. Weird, I have got no error message after chmod 777.

I have already spent 10 hours on the pogoplug. Still can not set it up correctly. Thank you for your help!

Thanks Tom! The problem I have now is to copy files from my windows machine to the external drive attached to pogoplug. I can not create a new folder or copy files to the samba drive. Windows tells me that I do not have the permission. However, I check in Webmin that "everyone" has read and write permission to the shared folder.
I searched online. The problem is that the NOT "everyone" has read/write permission under Linux. And I am trying to grant read/write permission to "everyone" for the shared folder under Linux. I can not do it.

Use the filemanager under webmin select the folder that is give you problems, then select the
"info" button. Change the group to "users" or what ever your user group is, and change the permissions so that all users can write and change the folder contents. Then at the bottom of the pop up apply to " this directory and its subdirectories". you may have to restart the smb.service after, but that is what usually fixes it for me.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('confucius', 'T')hanks for the information. I got webmin up and running. However, after the configuration following these steps http://www.webmin.com/samba-howto.html and click restart samba server. I got this error message. Failed to restart Samba servers : /etc/rc.d/samba start failed

Seems samba is not installed?

[yazyazoo]

I installed Samba from the second post on the thread by SoCalTom. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5135

I then followed the wiki and copied over the conf file. I followed Webmin wiki on installing Samba and settings. I still can't get it to work.

run "which samba"
