[Cialug] Ubuntu shared drive

[Nathan C. Smith]

mount the drive with the data under a folder and then share that folder.

the basic steps are

For a folder called bigshare:
/bigshare

mount /dev/sdb1 /bigshare

And then share bigshare in samba

To make the mount step automatic you can add an fstab entry.

Well it seems to be working now. I can right click on a folder and share it but...
The thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to share the entire second hdd where all my "data" I want to keep is at.
