I never thought of selinux causing the issue. I'm not getting an selinux error ?
Where did you look? You can use "sudo ausearch -m avc" to show the log entries.
selinux is about what programs are allowed to do.
might be useful.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/samba is "man 8 selinux_samba" which used to come in
selinux-policy-devel but dnf can't find it for Fedora 31.
I did a setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs onI can't see why selinux would disallow remote users to access a device mounted to a shared directory. Am I wrong ?
The link I provides says "If you want to share files other than home directories, those files must be labeled samba_share_t."
When I created a new samba share in Fedora 60 I had to label the files.
If your external drive uses a low-rent filesystem you may not be able label files.

It's working great.I want to share a USB drive using Samba. I've tried mounting it to a directory within a Samba share and it does work due to permission errors.- I create the mount directory (USB) as a normal user, thus giving it "normal" permissions. Fore test purposes, I can r/w/x files to this directory with no problems.- I mount the USB device to the mount directory using mount /dev/sdb1 USB.- I can access the USB directory from the server and r/w/x everything just fine.- When I try to access the share/USB directory from the client, like Dolphin, it requests permission in the form of user and password. The user and password that I use to access the share do not work. Nor does the user and password I use to access the server.What am I missing ?How does one share a USB device via Samba ?Have you checked to see if selinux is causing the permission denied issues?--George N.
