Re: [arch-general] NAS drive revisited
Hi Nikolic, If you don't plan to share your NAS with (nasty and mediocre) Windows systems you should mount it as a NFS4 share, I use it to access my download and media home servers from various PCs in my home and it's quite a smooth experience.
Re: [arch-general] NAS drive revisited
I have read the Arch Wiki till i am blue in the face already hence the mail .. mounting with SMB using the line below mount -t cifs //192.168.0.154/backups -o /home/pete/nas/ After entering the password it mounts . mount reports .. //192.168.0.154/backups on /home/pete/nas type cifs (rw,relatime,sec=ntlm,unc=\\192.168.0.154\backups, uid=0,username=root,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.0.154,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1) i can see one thing but cant alter it username=root but you can only mount as root or using sudo as i have been unless of course you know different. add uid=pete in the mount options. I don't know if it's documented in the wiki, but sure it is in the `man mount.cifs` :) -- дамјан

Your description of the problem is much too vague. If you want help, you ought to describe more specifically what you're trying to do, and what is going wrong.
Re: [arch-general] NAS drive revisited
I am still not able to write to my external NAS drive an iomega home media drive So lets approach it from a different angle we will say i have not done anything yet just plugged it into the network What packages am i looking to install and what configuration changes do i need to make . I am trying this way round as i am chasing my tail up somewhere dark and nasty right now . I know the drive works perfectly i have just tried it with an old Suse distro on the Laptop and instant read/write no problem now if it can work on there why wont it work on Arch .. What protocols does the NAS support, and which of those you want to use? If you don't know about protocols, then tell us how do you expect it to work. -- дамјан
