Post subject:  Hint how to make samba shares survive update

After my update to 8.2 among the little things that needed to get fixed were my Samba shares. I don't like the way LinHES lables drives so I make a symlink to a user readable and type-able name so
Code:
/data/storage/WDCWD8000AARS-00Y5B1_WD-WCAV59532307
becomes
/data/storage/disk3

Previously I updated this in /etc/samba/smb.conf.media but with the update it was wiped. Frustrated that I had to spend a half hour figuring out where all that nonsense was again I instead spent an hour finding another way.
Apparently it's as easy as adding the lines from /etc/samba/smb.conf.media to ~/templates/user.shares
So my user.shares file went from
Code:
unix extensions = no
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes

to
Code:
unix extensions = no
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes

[Disk3]
    path = /data/storage/disk3
    public = yes
    only guest = yes
    writeable  = yes
    printable = no
    force user = mythtv
    force group = mythtv
    create mask = 0755
    veto files =  "/mysql/"  "/srv/"

[disk0]
    path = /data/storage/disk0
    public = yes
    only guest = yes
    writeable  = yes
    printable = no
    force user = mythtv
    force group = mythtv
    create mask = 0755
    veto files =  "/mysql/"  "/srv/"

[myth]
    path = /myth
    public = yes
    only guest = yes
    writeable  = yes
    printable = no
    force user = mythtv
    force group = mythtv
    create mask = 0755
    veto files =  "/mysql/"  "/srv/"


Not to make any duplications I renamed /etc/samba/smb.conf.media to smb.conf.media.ignore

I AM NOT A LINUX EXPERT! THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS! but it works for me.
