iTunes and Linux Permissions

[Bureaucromancer]

So this is more of a linux permissions, or maybe samba, question, but I'm trying to get iTunes to play nicely with a library located on one of my shares (not multi user, just trying to shunt a rather large collection of files off my local machine and onto the storage pool, so I'm trying to avoid a server type solution for now). Basically it all seemed to work for about a day, after which iTunes started continuously throwing an error claiming that it can't save the library because a "duplicate filename has been specified".

Any ideas? I've been playing around with the permissions on the share, and everything seems to be as it should, and iTunes can certainly access and play everything fine...

I presume you accessing the share, not the /mnt/samba/share. Check to ensure the ownership is first admin user:users and read write all recursively.

Those are the only things that I can think of to ensure you can access and write without issue.

Yeah, the permissions are ok. Honestly I think the quirk is in iTunes rather than the server. I might en up looking at was to move the media files to the server but keep the library files local.
