Mount Samba subversion working copy in Mac OS X

21 Nov 2009

With my setup at home I have a virtual machine running Debian that has my development environment and code. I use samba to mount my working copy to OS X. Initially I had a bunch of issues trying to using my Mac subversion clients with this working copy. I kept getting the following error:

Can't move '/Volumes/samba_share/.svn/tmp/entries' to '/Volumes/samba_share/.svn/entries': Operation not permitted

I added "delete readonly = yes" to the global section of my smb.conf file and this solved the issue.
