I am trying to setup a nas to store my digital pictures and access them with digikam. The NAS is a single disk Lacie Network Central Storage device. It has two available share built in (I don't beleive you can change this) one is called openshare which is open to anybody to access and the other is called myshare which is a personal share. I am only interested in the Openshare
I currently mount the the nas via the fstab with the following line //192.168.1.250/openshare /media/openshare cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,noauto 0 0 (the uid is my user uid and the gid is the users) This allow me to read and write to the drive in normal operations The problem I have is with digikam. Apparently digikam does not like nfs or samba shares as sqllite has difficulty setting a lock file. There is a work around here http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=117536777106366&w=2 The problem I have is that for some reason I can't make the symlink m...@titan:~$ ln -s /Pictures/digikam3.db /media/openshare/Pictures ln: creating symbolic link `/media/openshare/Pictures/digikam3.db': Operation not supported. Is this likely to be a problem with the nas or a permissions problem?
