Devices plugged into the USB port are visible to the drive, but not the network and those drives are mounted read only. This page is for those who want to modify it so that you can see the drives on the network and/or change data on them. If you only wish to expose the drives to the network without making them writable, then you can skip all the steps that involve "hotplug". If you want to write to the drive using the screenplay menu, but don't want to expose the drives to the network, then skip the steps editing the smb.conf file. 1.
