# SMB Drive Sharing Setup (VM `192.168.0.178`)

This config shares the VM drives to the internal network using Samba.

## 1) Drive mount points and persistent mounts

Mounted drives:
- `sda2` -> `/mnt/drive-a` (UUID `68F46144F461159A`)
- `sdb1` -> `/mnt/drive-b` (UUID `EE80C48480C454AD`)
- `sdc2` -> `/mnt/drive-c` (UUID `D68E4A0E8E49E817`)

Create mount points:

```bash
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/drive-a /mnt/drive-b /mnt/drive-c
```

Add to `/etc/fstab`:

```fstab
UUID=68F46144F461159A  /mnt/drive-a  ntfs-3g  defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113  0  0
UUID=EE80C48480C454AD  /mnt/drive-b  ntfs-3g  defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113  0  0
UUID=D68E4A0E8E49E817  /mnt/drive-c  ntfs-3g  defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=002,fmask=113  0  0
```

Apply and verify:

```bash
sudo mount -a
df -h /mnt/drive-a /mnt/drive-b /mnt/drive-c
```

## 2) Install and configure Samba

Install:

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y samba smbclient
```

Append to `/etc/samba/smb.conf`:

```ini
[DriveA]
   path = /mnt/drive-a
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   guest ok = no
   valid users = sze
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775

[DriveB]
   path = /mnt/drive-b
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   guest ok = no
   valid users = sze
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775

[DriveC]
   path = /mnt/drive-c
   browseable = yes
   read only = no
   guest ok = no
   valid users = sze
   create mask = 0664
   directory mask = 0775
```

Set SMB password and start service:

```bash
sudo smbpasswd -a sze
sudo systemctl enable --now smbd
sudo systemctl restart smbd
```

Verify:

```bash
systemctl is-active smbd
smbclient -L //127.0.0.1 -U sze
```

## 3) Access from clients

### macOS

Open the share in Finder:

1. Open Finder
2. Click `Go` -> `Connect to Server...`
3. Enter `smb://192.168.0.178/DriveA`
4. Click `Connect`
5. Sign in with:
   - Username: `sze`
   - Password: the password set with `sudo smbpasswd -a sze`

You can also open it directly from Terminal:

```bash
open "smb://192.168.0.178/DriveA"
```

Other shares:
- `smb://192.168.0.178/DriveB`
- `smb://192.168.0.178/DriveC`

### Windows

In File Explorer, enter:

- `\\192.168.0.178\DriveA`
- `\\192.168.0.178\DriveB`
- `\\192.168.0.178\DriveC`

Then sign in with the same SMB username and password.

Credentials:
- Username: `sze`
- Password: set via `sudo smbpasswd -a sze`

## Troubleshooting

- Shares not visible: `sudo systemctl status smbd`
- Mount issue at boot: `sudo mount -a`
- NTFS permission mismatch: check `uid=1000,gid=1000` in `/etc/fstab`
