HowTo: mount a USB hdd in Debian and share it for all users without authentication
All these I needed to do on my RaspberryPI so that I can share a mounted USB drive to the entire network and to be accessible fully without any authentication. I know, not very smart, but try to configure a TV, 2 iPads, 1 iPhone, 1 Android and one Internet radio to access it. My USB Hdd is /dev/sda1 and it is mounted on /media/usb /etc/samba/smb.conf security = share guest account = nobody [media] comment= Media read only = no path = /media guest ok = yes browseable = yes public = yes guest only = yes guest account = nobody /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /media/usb ntfs noatime,users,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0111,dmask=0 0 2 Note: This will allow all rights on the /media/usb to all users. Don’t forget to restart the system or the services.
