mounting NAS partition?

Hi,

I have a USB drive with my partitions (WGT634U/share/partitionX) attached to my router (Netgear WGT634U Linux based) and I want to access them from my Acfer One with Limpus.

Which is the easyest way to mount them at startup?

I'm confused about NFS, Samba, Cifs, etc. Which client service is already there in the standard installation?

thanks, Lauro

 

You could create a directory in your home directory and do a cifs mount to that.

mkdir /mnt/home/netlink

Then mount to it:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.xxx/[sharedfolder] /mnt/home/netlink

Not sure how your NAS is setup. You might need to provide a username and workgroup name? If so, something like this:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=[username],workgroup=[workgroup name] //192.168.1.xxx/[sharedfolder] /mnt/home/netlink

The typical way of making this happen on a Linux box is to create an entry in /etc/fstab , but with this Lin(m)pus distro, the network never comes up when fstab is being first read and mounts created. Guess one could make that one of the autostart programs? Not sure, haven't done it.

Cheers.
