Well the light bulb finally came on. Some time ago Verniki said I should get a pair of terrabyte drives - one for storage and the other for backing up. So Now that I have the drives I'm trying to figure out how to share them with Peabody - my ubuntu box and the others windows boxes on the network. Well It finally dawned on me that I can format one of the drives as ext3 under linux, then mount the drive and share it out as a samba share. So I found this neat web page with a step by step that worked like a charm. How to Setup Samba under Ubuntu It covered it so well that my share worked the first time I tried it. Very good - so here are a few of the notes to myself stop samba = sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop edit samba config file = sudo /etc/samba/smb.conf start samba = sudo /etc/init.d samba start
Thats too smoove
