-If you are going to add some drives to share, and you have not already done so add them.  For a tutorial on how to connect USB flash drives and hard drives to your Pi, see: [[Adding_USB_Drives_to_a_RPi|Adding USB Drives to a Raspberry Pi]]

 After reading the above tutorial you will want to tweak where your drives are mounted so that they mount in the share area. First create a directory then mount the drive there.

 Other options can also be added to the /etc/fstab file to match your needs (add them in the fourth column, comma separated):
-user - enables mounting of the share by normal users
+'''user''' - enables mounting of the share by normal users
 noauto - prevents the share from being automatically mounted at system startup
-guest - use this to mount a share that is not password protected
+'''noauto''' - prevents the share from being automatically mounted at system startup
 When entries have been added to /etc/fstab, they are either mounted at startup or by hand. Accessing by hand is now much easier - the user only needs to run

 There are several ways that Linux can be configured to access samba shares. The simplest, user-level way of doing this is to open a file manager (e.g. nautilus, thunar), use shortcut Control+l, and enter
-  smb://server/share
+  smb://<server>/<share>

 where server is of course the IP address or hostname of the R-Pi, and share is the share you wish to connect to. Many file managers also have network browsing capabilities, normally accessible by clicking 'Network' in the bookmarks sidebar. Shares of a particular server can be browsed using the shortcut Control+l, and entering
-smb://server
+ smb://<server>
 For file managers to successfully mount shares under GNOME and XFCE environments, gvfs backends (debian/ubuntu package gvfs-backends) needs to be installed. For KDE, a file manager such as Dolphin and working KIO slaves (usually installed as part of KDE) are required. Shares can be accessed under Dolphin in the same way as Nautilus or Thunar.
