NOTE:
For the sake of this tutuorial we are assuming that you log in to Ubuntu 8.10 (32bit or 64 bit) with the username doej...where you see the username doej you would substitue with your username.
Rule # 1 BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
Rule # 2 Refer to Rule # 1
What you need to know:
The ip address of your NAS in my case and for this tutorial it is 192.168.0.40 yours may be different
The names of your folders for sharing fir this tutorial there are two folders on my share I want to mount within my home folder of /home/doej:
Documents
Music
What you need to install:
smbfs and if missing smbclient
How to install?
Click System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
under the Quick search type in smbfs and if not green check it
under the Quick search type in smbclient and if not green check it
clic apply then click apply again
Now onto the mounting of your NAS folders:
NOTE: Remember that the foldernames are CaSe sensitive so check that you use the proper case!
First step:
create file in /root called .smbcredentials
add:
username=username to log into nas
password=password to log into nas
Commands to do this:
Click applications>accessories>Terminal
sudo touch /root/.smbcredentials
sudo nano .smbcredentials
username=username to log into nas
password=password to log into nas
press ctrl-o to save the file
press ctrl-x to exit
now type in sudo chmod 600 /root/.smbcredentials
Samba Configuration:
First thing we do is backup the original configuration file
We start with creating a folder in your home directory called Backups to place the original files
Click Applications>Accessories>Terminal
type in:
sudo mkdir /home/doej/Backups
Next step is to create two mount points in your home folder so that you can browse Music and Downloads within your home folder to mount your shares so you can browse them in Places and on your desktop. In this example we will create two folders in /home/doej called MusicNAS and DownloadsNAS so that we know the files we see are from the NAS once again these foldernames are CaSe sensitive :
sudo mkdir /home/doej/MusicNAS
sudo mkdir /home/doej/DocumentsNAS
then type in:
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /home/doej/Backups/smb.conf
You have now made a backup of your smb file in /home/doej/Backups
sudo nano /etc/ samba smb.conf
Under the heading #======================= Global Settings =======================
add line :
# This allows older lanman autorization for the Dlink NAS-323
client lanman auth=yes
then press ctrl-o to save the file
press ctrl-x to exit
To fix an unmounting issue with cifs(samba) when rebooting type:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc0.d/K15umountnfs.sh
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/K15umountnfs.sh
Next step it to automount your shares so that they are there everytime you log in! This required editing your fstab file...our first step is to back it up before making any changes.
FSTAB Configuration:
sudo cp /etc/fstab /home/doej/Backups/fstab
You have now made a backup of your fstab file in /home/doej/Backups
Now to tell fstab to mount your shares
sudo nano /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=ee64b879-124a-48a0-95ef-650fc9a1ceb7 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=123792b0-ea3f-4d59-8f38-a036af9435ce none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
//192.168.0.40/Downloads /home/doej/DownloadsNAS cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_ mode=0777 0 0
//192.168.0.40/Music /home/doej/MusicNAS cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_ mode=0777 0 0
The last two lines are the ones we add manually starting with the ipaddress of your nas then the folder you want to mount then the home folder you want to mount it to.
Once completed you then hit CRTL-O then CRTL-X to save and exit
Last step:
mount -a
This will mount your shares.
