Cant share mount point

[neo_philiac]

Hey guys:

I have centOS installed on one of the machines and all i am trying to is to use samba to access the /data (on which /dev/md0 is mounted). I have tried a lot but couldnt share the mount point. I can share any folder if its not a mount point but as soon as i mount the disk on the dir windows gives me permission denied. I have tried changing all kinds of permission on the folder but couldnt do it. Here is me samba config

[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
guest account = nobody
security = user
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
guest only = no
log level = 3
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = yes
dns proxy = no


[data]
comment = Sysadmin Disks
path = /data
valid users = sysadmin
force user = sysadmin
force group = adm
read only = no
#guest ok = yes

The testparm comes out OK. Per mission on dir is " drwxrwxrwx 4 sysadmin adm 4096 Sep 25 11:46 data "

Pleassssssseeeee HELP

Ok no one is answering! Do you think it could be because I am mounting a partition ? Do I need dfstab or sharetab. I know its NFS related but I was just wondering if that could be the problem.

not an expert on this but i would think it's a permissions thing. if samba is not running as root then the user option would need to be added to /etc/fstab. or what i usually do is under a subdirectory of the mount point is where i put my samba shares. changing permissions won't help cause when it gets mounted the system takes over permissions to the mount point as defined by the fstab entry.
