If you have different kinds of data and you want to restrict access and keep things clean, you can create different sections for each data type. Now edit the Samba config file to add the partitions that we want to share over the local network.ДЄt the end of the file add a section for shared directories using the following pattern. Save and close the file then reboot the system. You have to make three changes in the above code: change UUIDвЂ™s number to the one you found for your partition, exchange вЂstorageвЂ™ with the mount point you created and if not using the NTFS partition, change it to the appropriate file system. In the above command replace вЂntfs-3gвЂ™ with the format of your partition and and вЂstorageвЂ™ with your mount point.ДЄll we have to do now is add the mount point to fstab so the drive auto mounts between reboots. Now we have to mount the partition with proper permissions.

Change the permissions of the mount point: Note it down.Д®xchange вЂstorageвЂ™ with your desired name (it must be short and in lower-case). Now what we need from here is the UUID number. Here вЂsda2вЂ™ is the partition on the HDD where all my files are. It will give you an output similar to ~ $ blkid

If the drive is NTFS (which I wonвЂ™t recommend) then you also need to install ntfs-3g packages.Д¬onnect the hard drive and find the UUID of the partition where your data is stored: I am assuming that the drive is formatted in вЂext4вЂ™ format. Now we need to mount the external hard drive where all your data is saved. Sudo smbpasswd -a pi Mount the external hard drive

Sudo apt-get install samba samba-common samba-common-bin Once your system is fully up-to-date, install samba server

Now update and upgrade the OS so itвЂ™s secure. Update the OS and install the needed softwareД«y default, the system user is pi and the password is root. Ssh order to run the Raspbian configuration via ssh, just run the sudo raspi-config command and you will be greeted by the configuration window. Once the image is written to the SD card, plug it into the Pi, connect the device to the ethernet cable, connect the monitor, power cable and keyboard and mouse. One important note: While running the above command, do not use any number followed by the device node, so it should not be /dev/sde1, it must be /dev/sde. Sudo bs=4M dd if=/path_of_raspbian.img of=/dev/sdX Once you have determined the device node, run the dd command to convert and copy the operating system files to the sdcard: Instead of X it would be something like a,b,c,dвЂ¦in my case it was /dev/sdc. Then plug in the SD card to the PC and run lsblk command, which will give you the device node for your card. Download the OS from the official site (DonвЂ™t download any software, even if itвЂ™s open source, from unknown sources). Raspbian is a Debian based distribution optimized for Raspberry Pi that is powered by an ARMv7 processor.

Connect all the hardware and burn the Raspbian image on the microSD card.
