Build Home NAS(1)External Disk and Samba

Samba FreeNAS and my USB Driver

1. Set Up USB Driver
> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

>sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7969 MB, 7969177600 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 243200 cylinders, total 15564800 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000c45c9

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1            8192      122879       57344    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2          122880    15564799     7720960   83  Linux

Disk /dev/sda: 1500.3 GB, 1500301909504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 182401 cylinders, total 2930277167 sectors

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *        2048  2930277166  1465137559+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

> sudo mkdir /mnt/driver1
> sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/driver1

Error Message:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

Solution:
Reboot the system. Then I get.
> sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/driver1
Error reading bootsector: Input/output error
Failed to sync device /dev/sda1: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.

Check if the driver exist
> sudo blkid
/dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="boot" UUID="936C-7154" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/mmcblk0p2: UUID="c1398422-7a7c-4863-8a8f-45a1db26b4f2" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="Seagate Backup Plus Drive" UUID="FA82E28182E241AD" TYPE="ntfs"

Give more AC Power to the USB
> sudo vi /boot/config.txt

Add this 2 lines and reboot the system.
max_usb_current=1
safe_mode_gpio=4

It works for me.
>sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/driver1

Create the NAS_CLOUD disk
> sudo ln -s /mnt/driver1/nas_cloud /opt/disk1

And This command will show you the spaces on all the drivers
> df -l

2. Set Up Samba Server Side
> sudo apt-get install samba

> sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin

backup the configuration file
> sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak

Some configuration Changes Here
[Sillycat-NAS]
   comment = Sillycat NAS Dictory
   path = /opt/disk1

   read only = no

   create mask = 0660

   directory mask = 0771

   valid users = @users
   force group = users

Restart the Samba Server
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Create a user to the system
> sudo useradd sillycat -m -G users

Give a password
> sudo passwd sillycat

Create a new samba password
> sudo smbpasswd -a sillycat

3. Test the Samba Connection
> sudo apt-get install smbclient

smbclient -L //localhost/sillycat-nas
Enter carl's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.6]

Samba Port Number
Samba runs on TCP ports 139 and 445 and UPD ports 137 and 138.

4. Enable the Auto Mount
> sudo apt-get install autofs

sudo vi /etc/auto.master

+auto.master
/mnt/ /etc/auto.ext-usb --timeout=10,defaults,user,exec,uid=1000

Reboot the System and See.
It seem the autoFS does not work.

Solution:
> sudo apt-get install udev

> sudo fdisk -l

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

Not working.
