Map Network Shares within Bubba?

Hi Guys

I want to be able to browse my NasLite (linux based) file server shares from Bubbaâ€™s web-admin File Manager app, so I can access files when Iâ€™m out and about.

My idea would be to create a folder called NetworkShares in my private user area like so:
/home/garyl/private/NetworkShares/
And then within in this have mapped network shares. Is this possible?

Gary,

of course

you can use samba or smbfs to create the mounts to the NasLite.

Or as you say NasLite is linux based, you could use NFS mounts.

If you're running NASlite, then why not mount the shares by nfs. In some cases this is more fault-tolerant than samba shares

Just had a look at NFS mounting.

If I go down the route of specifying the mount in fstab.
Is this a valid/recommended entry:

Taken from http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/nfs.htm

Code: Select all

192.168.0.19:/Disk-1 /home/garyl/private/Network Shares/NASLite/Disk1 nfs rw,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,intr,async,nodev,nosuid 0 0

My NASLite server doesn't do permissions. All files are available to all users connected to the network. And I donâ€™t really want to lock files down to a specific user when I access it through Bubba.

I have tried reading up in fstab mounting options. But its all a bit hazy for me. And I'm not quite sure whats right for me.

I just mount them with almost no options. Here is my line from /etc/fstab:

Code: Select all

192.168.0.13:/shares/Main/Music           /mnt/netcenter/Music/           nfs     rw,user         1       2

I would strongly advice against using spaces inside UNIX folders. You'll need to escape them or else fstab will go gaga. Better not use them at all.
