I'm running Kubuntu 21.04. I have an external USB3 8TB drive formatted as ext4
. It is being shared on the network as SAMBA share. The name of the drive is nest
, and my smb.conf
is configured as below:
[nest]
comment = nest
path = /media/JMS10/nest
read only = no
browsable = yes
guest ok = no
public = yes
force user = JMS10
I am connecting to the share from an Windows 10 laptop. When Windows asks for a username/password, I'm using JMS10
as the username, and I specify the password. I'm able to browse and view all of the contents. The problem is when I delete a file, it tells me it is deleted, but when I refresh the folder the files are still there. Also when I open the folder physically from my Kubuntu PC I can also see the files.
So I'm not sure why the files aren't getting deleted. It used to work fine before, and at some point it stopped working properly. I haven't changed the smb.conf
in a long time.
drwxrwxr-x
for directories, and-rw-rw-r--
for files.force user = root
, andwrite list = JMS10
but it is still doing the same thing.
