I can't get access from the lan to a shared folder which is located on a second hard drive on an Ubuntu server.

I have installed Ubuntu server 15.04, Ubuntu is freshly installed on first hard drive sda, and second hard drive is sdb which I have formatted with ext4 and I have mounted and set it to automount everytime I reboot computer.

I have read numerous forums and for days I've been looking for a solution to share a folder or to share a whole drive so anyone can access it from lan without permissions, no luck.

I followed this solution http://www.liberiangeek.net/2014/07/ubuntu-tips-create-samba-file-server-ubuntu-14-04/

Which works when I share folder from Hdd where is Ubuntu installed, but when I do the same steps and change a path to another folder which is located in my second hard drive "/mnt/backup/share" I cant get access to it. I created user and specific group of users with full permissions to specific folder, and when I try to get access to from local network (pc with win7, win 8 and winxp) to access it on a prompt with username and password which I type in; I got also denied. What am I missing?

My smb.config

[global]

workgroup = WORKGROUP

server string = Samba Server %v

netbios name = ubuntu

security = user

map to guest = bad user

name resolve order = bcast host

dns proxy = no



[test2]

path = /mnt/backup/test2

browsable = yes

writable = yes

guest ok = yes

read only = yes



[tiki]

path = /mnt/backup/tiki

browsable = yes

writable = yes

guest ok = yes

read only = no



[tiki2]

path = /mnt/backup/tiki2

valid users = ocat

guest ok = no

writable = yes

browsable = yes

Im such a noob, didnt even look at Hdd premisions, now i have changed it from none to read and write, and voila it works... Thank you you are a life saver. 10 days i have spend to share it to find a cure and finaly i did :D thank you, thank you :D
