Yes it was a typo.
Your suggestion didn't help. I know I have the conf file right because
if I change the public share to something under / like /boot it works
fine. But because /data is a separate partition I'm having trouble.
I that a typo? Guest ok - yes, should be an =
Set writable = yes in the public section and remove read only.
Hope that helps
