I have installed the Samba, but I want to know if I need ntfs-3g to edit /etc/fstab to make this permanent past reboot?
Hi,
We would recommend using dietpi-drive_manager to attach, mount external drives. Although, /etc/fstab is also fine.
If you want the Samba Server to point to the USB drive, and, you used dietpi-drive_manager to setup the USB drive, use dietpi-drive_manager or dietpi-software to move your DietPi user data, from SD to USB drive. Samba will then point to USB drive. http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=478#p2087
Or edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change path = /mnt/dietpi_userdata accordingly.
ntfs-3g is installed by default.

Donating is the easiest – you can use PayPal or become a DietPi patron.
Only question I have now is that the mount is now the UUID. Is there anyway to change that to a "familiar name"?
Not within DietPi currently, you'd need to edit this manually in /etc/fstab.
If you do the manual edit, you will also need to replace the symlink for /mnt/dietpi_userdata and point it to the new mount location, else, Samba server location will point to nowhere (rootfs).
