View Full Version : mount remote shares?
hi,
i'm just wondering if and how it's possible to mount a remote share of my linksys nslu2, so that i can for example download files from the internet via my 770 but store them directly on my external harddrive (ext3) on the nslu2.
would be great to get some info about that :)
thx in advance

Try to write "mount remote shares" to the forum searchbox on this page. Simple, eh?
shortcut : look at the HOWTO section of the maemo.org wiki...
sorry but the search does not deliver the desired results (or i have not enough clue ;) ) and the howto in the maemo wiki only cares about windows shares (How to access Window's shares from 770 using NFS / How to access Window's shares from 770 using CIFS). the linksys nslu2 runs linux. or will it work for linux shares too?
sorry and thx in advance

There is no such thing as 'linux share'. It is probably cifs/smb or nfs. Might be good to check nslu2 manual if you are not sure about features it has :-)
ok then ;) nslu2 runs samba, do i have any chance then to access it from the 770? i found this thread (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2487&highlight=samba) but i can't really get what the conclusion is. could anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers

I have a Linksys NSLU2 NAS, and just exported the share over NFS. The
Nokia can mount nfs just fine.
found this and going to try using nfs. will report soon... ;)
where exactly did you find that information? As to NSLU2 and NFS you have to change the NSLU2 firmware (uNSLUng) to be able to install NFS server on it
i found this information here (http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-users/2006-March/000795.html) . my nslu2 already runs uNSLUng and i'm going to install the nfs server maybe tonight. will report soon... ;)

ok, let us know whether Nokia has restored the NFS support in latest kernel

No, they did not. Most probably they did it because NFS is not needed for 98% of N770 users and it makes kernel larger. Maybe they could compile it as a modules and include it in initfs by default. But most people who know what nfs is can compile modules themselves.
You can get modules for IT2006 kernels from my page http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#mmcplus I think for NFS you need to insmod sunrpc.ko lockd.ko and nfs.ko
unfortunately i'm not familiar with compiling modules. will try this (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18997&postcount=43) first... ;)

That should work fine for you.

Great, thanks!!! :)
I followed your description and i finally got it working. The only issues I had:
-the newest IT2006 version does no longer contain the cifs module, so i had to download it from here:
http://handhelds.org/~fanoush/maemo/cifs.2.2006.39-14.tar.gz
(also see http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowToAccessWindowsCIFS for help)
- the run-applet needs the full path to the script, even if it is in /usr/bin and is executable ("/usr/bin/mountNSLU2"). to remove wrong entries from the run-applet-menu, edit /var/lib/gconf/apps/loadplugin/%gconf.xml
- if there is a space in the share name (the NSLU2 calls the shared disk "DISK 1" or "DISK 2", escape the space using "\040".
//192.168.1.77/DISK\0402 /home/user/MyDocs/NSLU2 cifs rw,user=guest,password= 0 0
Now I can download files and store them directly on the NAS, gr8! :)
