In reply to Ronit. In your udevil.conf set:

mount_point_mode = 0777

Should work.

Hello,

Everything works beautifully, thanks for these instructions.

Only problem is, I manually need to do a chmod 777 on the mounted directories in /media before I can write to them from other computers. I need to do this after each reboot.

Is there a way to automate the process? I am using uDevil, like you mentioned in your other article.

Hi,

nice to hear this 🙂
No you can use these settings they will work fine for every LAN samba installation.

Thank you for all of your tutorials; they’re wonderful!

Are the optimizations applicable to non-ARM Arch Linux installs. I have a server that runs Arch 64bit. Should I change the optimization values you provide? (e.g., write cache size (and/or “socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072”

Thank you,

buzz

In reply to Obihoernchen. PS: v4 CPU is slower than v2 so read/write performance will be worse if you don't use a native linux fs.
