samba | This is a big question

We have a docker image that is processing some files on a samba share.

For this we created a cifs share which is mounted to /mnt/dfs and files can be accessed in the container with:

Create a directory:

I was working samba on raspberry pi using putty to connect. I configured the smb.conf file using nano as my text editor. Try to use vi editor but it doesn't allow me to put in space or create a new line.

After I restart samba. It creates smb.conf.save file. When I try to nano smb.conf(the original file), it shows nothing like a blank page(see below image). It also crushes since I cannot go back to the command line. I have to close and open it again.

When I try to use vi editor to view smb.conf. I am able to view the text.

Does anyone know what is the problem? How to fix it? Thank you.

I want to use local files stored under my server (not in Rails' public directory or in the project directory) just like the public folder.

For a more brief explanation, I have an /home/server/img folder and my Rails project's root is something different. I want to be able to use these folder named "img" contents in my Rails app's, just like a resource file.

As an example;

Edit

The crux of the question is: how do I get access to variable(s) declared in a BeforeDiscovery block in my It blocks that are not passed through by the it -foreach $var construct?

I'm having difficulties adjusting to the Discovery/Run phase and Scoping of Variables in Pester 5

Background

We are moving servers and what I'm trying to test is

1. that every share on serverA also exists on serverB.
2. that every readable share on serverA is also readable on serverB.

Using Pester 5, below code runs as intented but to make it work, I have to retrieve the $toShares twice. Retrieving the shares in my actual tests is using a net view and is a fairly long running operaton.

1. I have to retrieve $toShares in the Discovery phase to construct the $readableFromShares list
2. I have to retrieve an identical $toShares in a BeforeAll block to have them available in the should exists test

Question

How can I best restructure my test so that I only need to retrieve the $toShares once?

Testcode

I created a kubernetes cluster in amazon. Then I run my pod (container) and volume into this cluster. Now I want to run the samba server into the volume and connect my pod to samba server. Is there any tutorial how can I solve this problem? By the way I am working at windows 10. Here is my deployment code with volume:

I bought a VDRUM kit not long ago that has a MIDI out. I've had a raspberry pi lying around here from a previous project and I've had the idea to use that small computer as recorder.

So I've written a headless application that runs on the PI and listens to the MIDI Out port of the VDRUM kit. Upon receiving an input other than silence i start recording via the jdk libraries and place it on a samba server with timestamp.

That way I save everything I ever play. Now I've setup my audio workstation to receive those MIDI files from the samba share and I noticed, that they often have a very long "silent" part in the beginning of the MIDI file.

Is there a way to programatically remove the silence at the beginning of a midi sequence? I'm new to this MIDI stuff and still learning.

Here's the code that starts and stops the recording:

Running the command lsblk returns following output:

I have seen that some applications are able to represent themselves as external disks within Finder on MacOS. Typically, these are cloud storage applications such as PCloud Drive and WD Discovery. I'm wondering how they do this.

I realize that cloud storage might just implement some remote filesystem protocol such as Samba or AFP. But I still don't quite understand how an app mounts the filesystem directly into Finder. Also, is there a more efficient way to mount a virtual filesystem if it doesn't rely on network storage?
