Sorry, I haven't installed the Ubuntu amahi yet, so I can't help you with this and will let bigfoot or anyone else chim in.

For NIC adapter i have intel e1000

Intel is part in the linux kernel development which means that their NICs are very well supported. They have released drivers for the e1000 since kernel version 2.2, so as you are now running kernel 3 with Ubuntu I don't think updating the kernel will improve anything for you (there have been fixes in later kernels, but nothing that should change your life in a way that would warrant the trouble of installing a new kernel). You have one of the best supported NICs.

Slow transfer between ubuntu 12.04 and network hdd

Code: Select all

Wuhu, it just automitically started working. Must have been an update. Anyone else who can confirm this?

Have you done a system update yet?

Thank you bigmango, updating system as we speak. at this point my main concern is me being unable to connect to amahi shares with any new users.. will poke around

This should not happen (user accesses should work automatically when set with the amahi web UI). The ubuntu version being in beta I'm sure the devs will take care of this.

You said your samba conf is fine?

What access rights do you see on the shares? With the shell you can list them with "ls -l" and then chown to change the owner and chmod to change the user/group accesses. You can also do this easily with the desktop file manager.

Need to verify the permissions and ownership of the shares. If you see anything that is not owned by your initial user or permissions are not 775, that is your issue.

There is a bug for permissions in Ubuntu when creating shares. Hope to see that fixed shortly. But would like to see if this applies to your situation or if it's something new.

Hi bigfoot65, I did run chown and chmod command as we discussed. If this helps here is a chunk of smb.conf :

[The_Vault]
comment = The_Vault
path = /var/hda/files/thevault
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775

dfree command = /usr/bin/greyhole-dfree
vfs objects = greyhole

To bigmango/bigfoot:
Hmm i Just ran the ls -l command and it looks like chown/cmod did not execute properly (oxel007 is my first admin). Will look into this. Here is output


ls -l /var/hda/files/
total 48

drwxrwxr-x 2 oxel007 users 4096 Jul 9 22:42 xfiles

Btw i am not blaming anyone for my problems - i just want it to work finally

[bigfoot65]

Understand. Not looking to assess blame, just clarify the issues. It looks like the last 2 shares are not owned by the correct user. The 500 is done when you create a new share. It is a known bug and being worked.

Easiest way to fix is do:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R oxel007:users /var/hda/files

Note that you will have to do this everytime you create a new share until the bug is fixed.

That did not solve an issue will do clean reinstall
