How to mount network drives [NAS, for instance] in E2 - CIFS and NFS!!!

[gorski]

Thanx onzifonzi!!!

CIFS protocol for streaming, how to "mount" Windows "shared foldere" in E2:

Here is syntax for mount windows share:

mount -t cifs \\\\IPofWINDOWS\\sharename /media/net -o username=user,pass=password

How to mount NAS with NFS protocol, i.e. Linux based, starting with a Q:

I like to mount a path to my network drive, it is a Synology.

On my VU+ it is done in auto.network like this:

video -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,tcp,nolock,rsi ze=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.0.100:/volume1/video

But here does not work, any idea ?

Answer:

NFS Mount:

mkdir /mnt/nfs

mount -t nfs 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:/xya/xyb /mnt/nfs -o rw,nolock,intr,soft,udp

for automount, add the line in /etc/init.d/rcS

Not sure about the last bit, haven't tried this yet...

Anyone with more tested and detailed info?

Samba is implemented and running well on Enigma2 RC3 (and earlier releases)

see below example where I connected the "Harddisk" from the Azbox on a windows pc

C:\Windows\system32>net view \\azbox
Shared resources at \\azbox

The AZBox network services

@The Doc

RC3 (and earlier do not have the Domain name set to "Workgroup". Instead the Domain name "Dream" is used. This will cause a windows PC that belong to the Domain Workgroup not to see the Azbox.

You can change the Azbox domain name in the file /etc/samba/smb.conf

It seems there is another way, via fstab file...

You can "mount" shared Windows folder in your E2 system this way:
add to the fstab in your /etc folder one or more lines like this, one for each mount:

\\\\<WINDOWS-IP>\\<WINDOWS-SHARE> /media/music   cifs       username=user,pass=password              0 0

before rebooting the system make the destination folder (in this example it would be /media/music)
