Hi ,
I spent the last few hours trying to use a FAT32 formatted USB Drive to store the shared files. Although I can successfully mount the drive with something like the following in /etc/fstab
UUID=XXXX-XXXX /mnt/usbdrive vfat user,rw, exec,uid=0,gid=0,umask=000 0 0
When I go and try and create a symbolic link I get an 'operation not permitted' error. I can create folders etc on the mounted drive but not a symbolic link. I am no linux guru but I suspect its to do with the fact that its FAT32 formatted. When I get a chance I am going to try it with an ext2/3 formatted drive and I'll report back.
Cheers,
John
