Samba fileshare error

noxystics · January 31, 2026, 4:26pm

I was using my old laptop as a NAS and print server using Samba. It worked fine before and I can access the share just fine but after an update my Samba share doesn’t work anymore and keep giving this error “net usershare add: failed to add share nas. Error was Operation not permitted”.

Here is my smb.conf if it will help

# See smb.conf.example for a more detailed config file or
# read the smb.conf manpage.
# Run 'testparm' to verify the config is correct after
# you modified it.
#
# Note:
# SMB1 is disabled by default. This means clients without support for SMB2 or
# SMB3 are no longer able to connect to smbd (by default).

Check the system journal on the server for errors from smb service.
If the smb.conf has issues that might explain the failures.

If the smb.conf has issues that might explain the failures.

/usr/bin/testparm will test the validity of smb.conf.

barryascott · February 1, 2026, 1:01pm

Are you mountiing from Windows?
Which version?

How are you mounting?
Can you use the net use command?

noxystics · February 1, 2026, 4:12pm

This is what it output when I use testparm.

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)

Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

I also figured out that when I use the command sudo net usershare list it still remembers the my old share

sanc@fedora ~> sudo net usershare list
[sudo] password for sanc:
nas
Steam Games

but when I don’t use sudo it outputs nothing

and I can share folders from my main drive too but not folders from my second drive that I actually use as NAS

Update: I noticed that the NAS fileshare is actually still accessible from Windows but I just can’t seem to edit the share on Linux using GUI and have to use sudo and edit the share using terminal. The shares I have won’t show up in info center as well

noxystics · February 1, 2026, 4:23pm

Sorry I don’t really understand what do you mean by mounting from Windows but I do map the NAS on my Windows using the “Map network drive” option.

I mount the second drive using the /etc/fstab method. The one where I just make a directory named NAS on the /mnt/ directory and then edit my /etc/fstab file by adding a new line containing UUID=cd2de557-dad3-4be4-a9c1-f85873a67c38 /mnt/NAS btrfs defaults,noatime 0 0

barryascott · February 1, 2026, 4:51pm

I am not sure if you cannot map on windows or mount on Fedora.
What does not work and on what system?

FYI net use is the Windows command line way to map (or mount) a share.

Does the user on Fedora that yo use to login the share from Windows have access to the files on the /mnt/NAS?

noxystics · February 1, 2026, 5:03pm

Oh sorry I don’t really use Windows terminal but to answer your question yes net use does work and I can indeed map the share from Windows. But the share just won’t show up in Info Center in Fedora which is why I tried to add the share again using net usershare add but it ended up giving the error “net usershare add: failed to add share nas. Error was Operation not permitted”. But I’ve noticed that it only happens when I’m trying to share a folder on my second drive or the drive I’m using as the NAS. The drive is mounted fine tho and I can access it just fine from Dolphin or terminal on /mnt/NAS so yeah the user on Fedora that I use to login the share have access to files on the /mnt/NAS. .

What are the permissions and ownership of the files in /etc/NAS?

noxystics · February 1, 2026, 6:07pm

Did you mean /etc/fstab?
If so then

sanc@fedora /etc> ls -ld ./fstab
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 816 Jan 24 13:57 ./fstab

anothermindbomb · February 1, 2026, 6:18pm

No - typo - @barryascott meant the ownership of the files in /mnt/NAS/

noxystics · February 1, 2026, 6:48pm

It’s the same as the permission and ownership of the NAS folder then.

rwaskfedora · February 2, 2026, 1:43am

You didn’t include the “dump of your service definitions” which was the important part.

“Operation not permitted” generally implies a permissions problem.

All that said, you haven’t provided enough information to identify what the issue might be.

How, exactly, can you reproduce this problem? Which computer (Is it a Windows system, a Linux system, the Linux system used as a NAS?) is unable to access this share?

Please also provide the following:

output of ls -lRa /mnt/nas

Attempt a connection to the share with:

smbclient //server/sharename -d5 -U <userid you normally used to access the share>

Enter your password when prompted and, if you successfully log in, type dir, then use the get command to retrieve a file.

I understand if you wish to keep the contents of your NAS private. And the name/content doesn’t really matter for this exercise. Rather, want to know everything else about the files and folders in your share (permissions. ownership. directory structure, etc.)

Please post the output of the smbclient commands as well (the command line I provided enables debugging so lots of additional information should be provided. Again, the names of the files/folders aren’t important, but all the rest of the information is.

noxystics · February 2, 2026, 2:53am

The dump of my service definition just contains the content of my smb.conf. I am pretty sure it is a permission issue since I can share folders on my main drive(the drive I use for Fedora) just fine. Issue only happens when I try to share a folder located on my second drive or my /mnt/nas

You can reproduce the problem by using Fedora and have a second drive that you mounted using /etc/fstab method then try to share it using net usershare add nas /mnt/nas.

This is the output of ls -lRa
