   Why is it so hard to share an ext drive through #SMB lol on a regular desktop, #Linux PC? I've always done it multiple times before but have only just realised, never on a general desktop but rather on NAS OS-es like #TrueNAS.

     Why do you want to share it with SMB?

     @selea@social.linux.pizza I'm migrating my current NAS, so it'll have a bit of a downtime. While it's gone, I still need a temporary replacement for its SMB share that'll be used by my other devices - and the candidate for that was just an old laptop with an ext HDD attached. I'm sure the process should be easy, but not having any success trying to connect to the share I (think I) had set up atm.
