This is how I made it, for those who want an Samba on spare disk without doing remountrw on Flash Card<br><br>here is the compilation steps<br><br>I am assuming /mnt/ide is the path
where we need to install samba<br><br>a) go to <a href="http://www.samba.org/" target="_blank">www.samba.org</a> and grab
the latest source, by the time I compiled it is 3.5.1<br><br>b) Extract
in a temporary folder and go to the source folder and run <br>./autogen.sh
from source3 directory<br><br>c) create the following directories<br><br>/mnt/ide/samba<br>/mnt/ide/samba/config<br>/mnt/ide/samba/state<br><br>d)
run ./configure , for me it is <br><br>./configure
--prefix=/mnt/ide/samba/ --localstatedir=/mnt/ide/samba/state
--with-configdir=/mnt/ide/samba/config
--with-privatedir=/mnt/ide/samba/config --with-fhs --with-quotas
--with-smbmount --with-syslog --with-utmp
--with-shared-modules=idmap_rid --with-libsmbclient --with-automount
--with-msdfs --with-ads --with-winbind --with-winbind-auth-challenge
--with-manpages-langs=en --with-idmap --with-acl-support<br><br>it will
take few minutes, If configure stops then install the required package<br><br>e)
make && make install<br><br>f) put the following lines in
/mnt/ide/samba/config/smb.conf<br><br>[global]<br> workgroup =
WORKGROUP<br> netbios name = voyage<br> socket options =
TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192<br> read raw = yes<br>
write raw = yes<br> oplocks = yes<br> max xmit =
65535<br> dead time = 15<br> getwd cache = yes<br>
lpq cache = 30<br><br>[share1]<br> path = /mnt/ide/data<br>
admin users = xxxxx<br> valid users = xxxxx<br>
writeable = yes<br><br>g) put the following lines in /etc/init.d/samba
and chmod +x and run rcconf for auto run <br><br>#!/bin/bash<br>export
PATH=$PATH:/mnt/ide/samba/bin:/mnt/ide/samba/sbin<br>case "$1" in<br>
start)<br> pkill smbd<br> pkill nmbd<br>/mnt/ide/samba/sbin/smbd -D<br>/mnt/ide/samba/sbin/nmbd
-D<br> ;;<br><br> stop)<br> pkill smbd<br> pkill nmbd<br> ;;<br>
reload)<br> kill -SIGHUP `cat /mnt/ide/samba/state/run/smbd.pid`<br>
kill -SIGHUP `cat /mnt/ide/samba/state/run/nmbd.pid`<br> ;;<br> *)<br>
echo Usage:<br> echo start stop reload<br> ;;<br>esac<br>exit 0<br><br>h)
add the samba lib path (at the end) in /etc/ld.so.conf <br><br>/mnt/ide/samba/lib<br><br>enjoy
with your new Samba<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 8:18 AM, Navas Abubacker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:navas@truebilling.com">navas@truebilling.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Oh, I didn't mean to have samba to be installed on a Flash card, perhaps on the additional drive like I have a 80 GB 2.5 inch hdd connected with my Alix1C<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>By definition a read only file system cannot have files written to it,<br>
so I am not aware of any way to install Samba on a read only file system.<br>
