    installing Samba, FAT32 write problem

    Hi

    I have red almost last 50 pages of different themes and I also tried to use search, but unfortunately i do not find answer for my problem.

    At firsts I was using ASUS firmware. I bought Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB hard disk and put it to external usb box, formatted as FAT32 file system and connected to ASUS WL500G Deluxe. Everything worked ok, I could read and write files via ftp.

    Now I installed Oleg's latest latest (1.9.2.7-7e) firmware (by the way nice job) and it seems write permission is now gone. I tried to install Samba (http://www.macsat.com/macsat/content/view/27/29/) but no sucsess. I'm not able to create folder (mkdir /opt/etc/samba):

    mkdir: Cannot create directory `/opt/etc/samba': No such file or directory
    mkdir: Cannot create directory `/opt/etc/': Read-only file system
    So can anybody tell me, what is the solution. I don't want to format disk to ext3 filesystem because I may need to transport external box from one windows computer to another and so on.

    I'm very thankful for your kind help.

    Greetings from Estonia

    I have no problems with FAT32 HDD in -7e firmware. Check permissions in USB Application tab in Asus web inteface control. BTW, you can also enable samba support there.
