Mount Hard Drives and Set Up Samba Service in Ubuntu

1. Mount Hard Drives

Mount Partitions Manually and Temporarily

1. Get the list of hard drives

sudo fdisk -l

2. Mount using the device name

sudo mkdir -p /media/disk0
sudo mount /dev/sda1  /media/disk0

Auto-Mount on Boot

To prevent name changes, use UUID to mount the hard drive.

1. Get the UUID of the partition

lsblk -o name,UUID

2. Edit /etc/fstab

/dev/disk/by-uuid/7b1f4030-387b-f34c-8f80-727dcf85a853  /media/disk0

2. Set Up Samba Service

1. Install Samba

sudo apt install samba

2. Create a shared directory and set permissions

sudo mkdir -p /srv/samba/shared
sudo chown nobody:nogroup /srv/samba/shared
sudo chmod 2775 /srv/samba/shared

3. Configure Samba sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

[shared]
   path = /srv/samba/shared # Path
   browsable = yes  # Whether to allow browsing this share in Network Neighborhood.
   read only = no # Whether it is read-only
   guest ok = no # Whether anonymous access is allowed
   create mask = 0775
   directory mask = 0775

4. Samba User Configuration

adduser your_username # Add a user. Skip this step if you are using an existing user

smbpasswd -a your_username  # Set SMB access password
smbpasswd -e your_username  # Enable the user

5. Restart the Samba service

sudo systemctl restart smbd

6. If the firewall is enabled, add a rule

sudo ufw allow samba

7. Solve the problem that Windows cannot connect

# Disable guests
usershare allow guests = no
map to guest = never
