Hello, i had the chance to install openwrt on HG553, but i preferred roleo on that occasion because essentially the router would only serve as an access point.
But now, I have to work with openwrt 15.01 on a ZIDOO box.
I can access to lucy via web browser inserting ip's box and login as root:
My questions are these:
1) Why i can't share with samba the internal memory of box (this thing make me fool) and instead i can see shared the attached usb devices to box (Disk_sdb1 and Disk_sda)???
i post configuration template hoping for your help

[global]

    interfaces = |INTERFACES|
    server string = |DESCRIPTION|

    dns proxy = no
    writeable = yes
    vfs objects = posixacl
    aio read size = 0
    aio write size = 0
#    strict allocate = yes

2)Is there some method to install jdown on openwrt? i'm looking for about that but i didn't find anything. I understand that Aria2 can't supply jdown's function. Maybe can I consider other equivalent software?

I'm really sorry for my english

1) What config have you posted? See https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/samba
2) I don't know, what is it. See list of packages in repository: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … /packages/ It is repository of mt7620, I don't know, that content differs from others. There are also base package in level up, but aria2 is located here.

I've just basic skill, i try to explain better: i can access to openwrt (that you find yet installed on box) via web. This is openwrt chaos calmer 15.05.1, the webui is LuCi 160627, on the web ui -->user&pswrd-->nas service-->samba--> Here I can see two pages, the firsth:"general option" includes hostname,workgroup,Share home directories=1(that i'm trying to understand for it), shared directories (with two usb attached to the box). What I don't understand is why /home directory of box there isn't shared? Anyway, the second page "edit template" is where i found that configuration i posted, it reportes "Edit the template that is used for generating the samba configuration."...i'm sorry but i tought that it was an easy problem-solve

Ok, as it is written in the manual, perform initial configuration via LuCI. After that add share sda. See config file, section 'sambashare', copy it, append and modify string like /dev/sda to your home directory (see output of mount command).

oook, very thanks for your help because i thing that i said about something wrong/impossible in the box site: in order:

• to estabilish the initial configuration: i think it's already OK, samba is in function like I said

• you are wright:"(see output of mount command) how can I? ."the very great problem is that i don't know and i don't find what is the name of internal memory. If i go to openwrt on ssh i didn't find the classic directory that contains (Android,download,data,etc). I can see on /mnt an "android" directory (besides sda and sdb1 that there are usb) but if entry and get: ls or ls -al i can't see no one of directory of home...

• if I can find out what the name of the internal memory is, I can  modify config file on Luci or i have to connect with terminal and modify manually the samba file conf?

i repeat sorry for my english: speaking in english about some technical affairs it's very difficult for me

EDIT sorry for my third question, i had the answer in the guide you are link me

I was "studying" the exixtent template and I noted option "Invalid users= root" what does it mean? i login like root-user. In config samba that you have posted, there is an option :"homes"     boolean     no     0     0, 1     Share the user directory . On Luci in general option (samba) page, i have: Share home-directories = 1 (Allow system users to reach their home directories via network shares). Maybe i just have to switch "1" to "0" or I have insert this option "home" in template

i would post an image with response of Mount command but i don't know how i tried to upload in img bb but forum doesn't permit no one link.
so i connect with ubuntu shell: that's it

It is mounted not in ordinary way, I suggest you not to try to share it via samba...

https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/fl … _the_flash

You can try to add section sambashare with path /root, I don't know, whether it will work.

invalid users - list of users, who don't have access to service, it is standard samba option, not connected with OpenWRT. Usually guest user access shares.

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders
This documentation does not use the Samba built-in [homes] section that dynamically shares the user's home directory using the \\server\user_name\ path.

Sorry, I am not professional in samba.
