After setting up a SMB Samba share on my Raspberry Pi in Squeezeplug, the size of the mounted volume showed the size of the SD-card instead of the USB hard disk. To fix it, I had to change the setup for Samba. Here’s what I did to fix it.
[cc lang=”bash”]
pico /etc/samba/smb.conf
[/cc]
To get Samba to show the correct size of the volume mount, you need to change the path setting to point directly to the disk mount point. I mounted my disk to /mnt/hd1
[cc][media_lib]
comment = Public Folder
path = /mnt
guest ok = Yes
read only = No
[/cc]
change the line:
[cc]
path = /mnt
[/cc]
to
[cc]
path = /mnt/hd1
[/cc]
Restart the Samba server with the command sudo service samba restart
. Now the mounted volume should show the right size of your attached USB disk.
