I have a 1TB drive, formatted as exfat, connected to a mini-pc running Ubuntu. It’s plugged directly into an ethernet port on the router. Using it as a Plex media server. I am trying to copy files over to this drive from my MacBook Air M1 running Sequoia 15.5.
When I drag and drop I just get the ‘nope’ circle. Copy/paste does not work, even though Finder shows I’m connected as my username. I can browse all files/folders on Finder from this shared drive.
I have done several modifications to fstab and smb.conf but nothing changes.
Any ideas how I can fix this evidently permissions issue?
Finally got it working. I’m still not sure which thing I fiddled with that did the trick. Here are some relevant files in case this helps someone in the future:
macOS is not able to see the underlying file system of a network drive, the server is handling the reading and/or writing of files. The file system of the SMB-server can be for Linux various file system types, such as fat, ext4, XFS, Btrfs, and ZFS.
So this has nothing to do with a directly attached drive to your Mac. In this case it was a configuration problem on the server side.
