I've set up a nas with a raspberry pi and an exfat drive. Unfortunately I can only read from my computer and not write since only root has write permissions on the drive and I cannot alter them using 'chown', it tells me "operation not permitted". I am guessing this has to do with the exfat filesystem.
I can force user to be root in the Samba config and that works but that doesn't seem secure. I want a non-public nas that works only with a password and allows that user to write.
