I've been trying to set up my Raspberry Pi B+ as a HTPC that also shares a USB HDD over Samba and AFP. The latter is working just fine, and the Samba share seemed to be working too for a moment. However, whenever I try to connect to the Pi now (no modifications AFAIK) it shows me the folders with small stop icons. The following links unfortunately didn't offer me any help.
- Mount exFAT file system as user without specifying /dev/sdX1 in /etc/fstab
- Cannot mount exFAT even though I installed exfat-fuse

I've tried the following:
- changing "exfat" in /etc/fstab to "fuse-exfat", "exfat-fuse", "fuseblk". All without luck.
-
manually mounting using:
- sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Data
- sudo mount -t exfat /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Data
- sudo mount -t exfat-fuse /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Data
- sudo mount.exfat /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Data
- sudo mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sdb3 /mnt/Data

The funny thing is, on every single one of these commands. The /mnt/Data privileges change to (drwxr-xr-x, root:root) and go back to normal when I unmount the volume. I'm guessing OS X won't let me browse into any directory as it is owned by root and I'm connecting as osmc. What seems to be going wrong here?

I noticed that by default, OSMC also shares external HDD's over Samba. On connecting to the Raspberry via Samba, I get the following options:
When connecting to
osmc
, from my understanding, it serves me/home/osmc
which has symlinked folders that I put there, e.g.:/home/osmc/Movies -> /mnt/Data/Movies
This results in the behaviour I mentioned before, giving me red warning circles on the folders. However when connecting directly to 'Data', everything works fine. I figured this would suit me and couldn't be bothered waiting for an answer here as I'm really impatient.
