LE 10.95 Kodi 20 Beta Samba function "root preexec" does not work

dippes · February 4, 2023 at 3:12 PM

Hello

I have created a new file share in /storage/.config/samba.conf with this content.

[Test]

path = /storage/test

available = yes

browseable = yes

public = yes

writeable = yes

root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/test

Unfortunately the preexec function does not work, no folder is created as it should.

I have the same problem with "Ubuntu 20.04.5" and "Ubuntu 22.04.1".

Does this function no longer exist in Samba?

Code

root preexec = /bin/bash -c "mkdir -p /storage/test"

^ Just a guess. See if that ^ works?

Works perfectly with Libreelec.

But not at all with Ubuntu server. How can that be?

preexec is only executed when the share is accessed.

Thank you that's it

Since it was a user problem, it doesn't fit here.

can an admin please move this thread?
