Samba shares
I'm attempting to set up a samba share for my system and I can access shres of directories such as /usr however I can't access the samba share I created for a fat16 disk mounted to /sambastorage. do I need to migrate the disk to EXT2/3 or am I just doing something wrong ?

Did you edit your samba.conf?

It shouldn't matter what type of filesystem the data is on, as long as you can mount the disk and it is accessible via the command line, then Samba will be able share it out.

Like prunejuice said... have you configured Samba to share out /sambastorage?

yes and mounted ext2 disks share prefectly fine (unmounting the fat drive and mounting a ext2 drive to the same dir and the share shows up)
