How can I share an external hard drive (with ntfs file system) connected to an android device?
Tried "Samba Filesharing" but it only sees the memory card (FAT32). When searching for additional devices, it says nothing available in FAT was found, which is not surprising because the disk is formatted in NTFS and reformatting is not possible.
The android device itself perfectly sees both partitions on the hard drive.

The problem was solved by editing the config. Mounting is ok. found a topic on 4pda
in the file /data/data/com.funkyfresh.samba/files/smb.conf changed "path = /mnt/sdcard" to "path = /mnt/" now there is access to everything.

When you look at a hard drive, do you mount it? Google about Mount USB in the market. Essentially, it mounts to a mount point. Specify it for Samba.
