how to access sata drive after installing archlinux

[iBabu]

i just finished installing archlinux on my 2tb goflex home, following tutorial on this site, and i can ssh to it and it works, but the question is how do i access hd?

Install samba? http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/ ... ions/samba

i installed samba but couldn't really get it to connect, it connects but doesn't let me go pass login screen so gave up on that, but then i installed vsftpd and it let me connect using ftp://ip-adress , but the problem im having is when i check the size of that mounted drive it only says it's 1gb big so it's not mounting the correct partition or whatever. when i ran fdisk -l it shows me two parition /dev/sda1 which is im thinking boot partition and other is /dev/sda2 - ext3 format. can anyone help me out configuring right setup so i can mount the other partition?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkdir /media/Part2
echo "/dev/sda2 /media/Part2 ext3 noatime 0 0" >> /etc/fstab')

Just copy-paste that to ssh session and reboot the plug.

For samba, if you followed the guide correctly, then you should have this in your smb.conf:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ArchLinuxARM]
path = /media/mnt_sdx1/
read only = no
public = yes
writable = yes
force user = root')

ArchLinuxArm --> change to whatever name you like
path --> change to the path of your shared folder. For example path=/media/Part2
other 4 lines are important as well and the force user one is actually the one that will prevent username and pass to be asked when you want to access the share.

Are you sure samba is running and not just configured? Do
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ps ax|grep smbd')
You should see something like
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
923 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
936 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/smbd -D
')
If not running, you can start with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
rc.d start samba')
and to start on boot include samba in /etc/rc.conf DAEMONS list.

Well for MACOS it will always popup, because macosx since lion has different implementation of samba. You can try guest (this works for me) or login with your ssh credentials.

Before I did not notice that your image was scrollable and that it popped up the credentials window. Did you change the Name: to root in that and give the root password?

[iBabu]

yea i tried root - root, and also guest, and also user account i created on archlinux credentials neither works
and yes i did rc.d start samba was running.
