Hi Guys
I am running two RHEL boxes, each day I am rsyncing some data from my primary server to my secondary server, the secondary server will be activated in a DR situation.
I am rsyncing the entire /home partition.
On my primary server there are about 8 samba shares for data that the clients can access all the samba shares point to various sub-directories within /home. My issue is that on my secondary server I cant connect to the shares from a windows workstation.
My smb.conf file is the same as my primary server and to test I have created a test mount in /mnt/test and I can connect to that fine. It appears that the issue is all around the fact that these directories that have been created with rsync.
My rsync command is: rsync -arzgopulv --delete /home root at 192.168.9.2:/
My smbd.log file says: '/home/folder/folder/folder does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [folder] Error was Permission denied.
I can see the folder in samba I have forced the user as root and I have chmodded the folder to 777. Access from the console to these files and folders works fine.
Has anyone got any other ideas that I can try?
Thanks
Cameron
