Thread: Making a file server (lost in the woods)


hi all,

i've bought machine use file server running ubuntu server 12.04 , have been tinkering week meet problems @ every step.
i'm pretty sure i'll format , fresh install after i've sussed out how things working, it's painful process , need help.

if can tell me briefly i'd need functionality:


  • a raid10 array hosting user specific data 2 local windows 7 machines (by mean, want able click on 'libraries' on either pc , seamlessly directed respective documents, downloads, music, videos & pictures folders hosted on server).




  • a second shared folder media accessed every user on win 7 machines (both have same users) , wdtv live (which support samba).



manage server using ssh , webmin , have created raid array through latter.
need know things like: if current file system (ext4) works windows machines happily, or if need format in ntfs. how configure samba (preferably through webmin) give me functionality need etc.


in advance!
