Add it to /etc/fstab.

Something like:

should do the trick.

Re: [SLUG] Thunderbird saving attachment to NAS

2012-03-19 Thread Ben Donohue 

Thanks all,

When I go File/ save as/ file/ it does not list the NAS box even though 
File Browser has it listed. Haven't tried NFS as yet...


trying .gvfs...
gvfs-mount //10.10.1.200/data

gets the following error... (haven't had luck with a googled answer as yet)
Error mounting location: volume doesn't implement mount

So I've done the following...

created a Data folder in my home folder and then as root typed...
mount -t cifs //10.1.1.200/data/ Data
which works in that Thunderbird sees it in the save as dialog box, but 
not after a reboot.


How do I make this permanent?

Thanks all for your help so far...
Ben

Well, it depends how it is mounted.

If the drive doesn't appear in the places list, then its not a .gvfs share.

I don't know a better way to described it.

The NAS folder neededs to be in a .gvfs (hidden) directory.

After that, things work better.

Somebody else would know more.

 In thunderbird it has Documents, Music, Videos, etc but no network drive.

 Is there a way in Thunderbird to mount a drive or is there somewhere
 else in Gnome to have a default network location that apps like
 thunderbird use for their places to save?

Have you tried the File>Save As>File option? It provides the facility to 
save emails and attachments from thunderbird to the file system including 
external disks.


Where do the options of Documents, Music, Video etc show up?

How is the NAS box share mounted? Have you considered mounting if via NFS?

[SLUG] Thunderbird saving attachment to NAS

2012-03-19 Thread Ben Donohue 

Hi all,

I have a NAS box and it is visible in Gnome file browser. I can save 
files to it fine.


When I open Thunderbird and have an attachment to save, I'm only able to 
save to local folders, rather than the NAS drive.


In thunderbird it has Documents, Music, Videos, etc but no network drive.

Is there a way in Thunderbird to mount a drive or is there somewhere 
else in Gnome to have a default network location that apps like 
thunderbird use for their places to save?


(Using Centos)
Thanks,
Ben
