Solution It appears --allow-other was partially broken in some recent beta builds. I updated to the latest build and all was well again. A definite reminder to check the latest stable build first whenever you are having issues :wink: Evening chaps I have an rclone mount set up and working perfect…

Ha ha ha, cracked it! I just found a post from 12 days ago where you mentioned that in a recent beta --allow-other was partly broken, so I updated and et voila! [image] Ownership/Perm Issue w/ Samba/Plex - gDrive Help and Support What is the problem you are having with r…

[image] CraftyClown: So is the problem somewhere in the mount script? You have --allow-other which is what I was going to suggest. You might also need --allow-root If you sudo -i to root can you read the files in /home/craftyclown/Skull ? What user is the samba server running as?

Thanks Nick, I logged in as Root and although I could see the folder Skull, I was unable to access files within it. It's starting to feel like --allow-root might be the answer! I'll give that a try now The samba server is running as my home user, the same as rclone

Ah, no dice I'm afraid :frowning: I added --allow-root to my mount and did a full reboot to ensure everything was loaded properly, but I still can't access Skull as a samba share. It is completely invisible

Hmm, not sure what to suggest next. Maybe try mounting it outside your home directory? What are the permissions on /home/craftyclown ? That might need to be 755

Yep, it's a strange one isn't it. I can't for the life of me think what is preventing access. Permissions on the home folder are 755 and permissions on the mount, now that I've added --allow-root are 777 I think you're right about moving the mount, at least to see if it makes a difference. I'll gi…

So I moved the rclone mount and chucked it in the /media/data directory as firstly that's a far more logical place to have it and secondly because that is the same location I have my backups folder, which I can share via Samba without issues.... It still doesn't work :cry: The only obvious differ…

hello, i have a raspberry pi4 on the pi4, i did a rclone mount gcrypt: /home/pi/rclone/mounts/gcrypt --read-only --allow-other i am not a linux expert but when you mentioned webmin, i have not heard of it. i installed it and configured samba using this guide. https://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/Sa…

Thanks asdffdsa, I'm familiar with that webmin page and as mentioned I have successfully shared other folders on the same server. It is only my rclone mount that doesn't want to play ball.. I'm presuming this is a permissions related issue, but at this stage I'm not sure what else I can try …

Soooo, still not fixed but here's what I know; Samba works fine. I know this because I can set up other shares in different directories and they work fine. I can even set up a directory with the same name as the rclone mount in the same place it used to live (inside my home folder) and that now w…

It might be worth a look in the kernel log. There might be an apparmor profile preventing it or something like that.
