Dear Snakeoil,

I don't know why I only can store about 3G of files thru Win Explorer, then it's full. (as told in https://www.snakeoil-os.net/Manual/clients/ )
Would you please help me to solve it? Thanks a lot! Shy

Best,
Billy

Dear Snakeoil,

During installation, I've tried: 1) leave that partition unmounted to any point, 2) mounted this partition to a "folder".

You have to copy the files under SSD. Having said that, because of the way Windows work, you might not get away with the ~3G limit. Probably the best thing to do is to modify your mount path to mount /dev/sda3 straight to /media/music instead. That way you get to use the full 913G space.

Thank you very much, it works, you're genius!! [Image: good_job.gif]

As it's pretty slow to copy thru windows, finally I've just mounted NAS and copied the files from NAS into the SSD directly. But then I can't delete files thru windows explorer. Would there be a better command than "chmod -R 777 /media/music"? Thank you very much again. Big Grin

Yes, I should be able to modify the samba configuration file so that you'd always have the ability to delete or modify files.

Failing that, I'd create a button called "Fix Permissions" that you can click to set everything up properly.

It's slated for the next release of Snakeoil - Which unfortunately is delayed. Until then, your command above will work, you can also run chown to change the ownership of the files.
