I'm still using 270.26 merlin's firmware (due to wireless drivers). I recently connected an ext3 4TB Samsung drive (Seagate enclosed) and transfered my entware system, everything went smoothly.
What was different though is that previously I was using a WD NTFS drive and creating folders though samba in windows was producing folders with 777 rights and root ownership. This is not now the case with ext3. Creating folders produces the 777 rights correctly in folders (force directory mode = 0777, force create mode = 0777 do exist in my smb.conf) BUT the owner/group of the folders is "nobody".
If I use winscp to create folders, they are created normally with user "admin" and group "root". How can I configure smb.conf to use the admin account or is there any other way to automatically create folders through samba with user admin?
PS. "Share with account" is disabled in router's samba web ui. I have an RT-N66U.
