my understanding is that if a linux-based NAS serves MS windows clients the NAS file system is netbios based and nfs can't be used, even between a linux NAS and linux client. my system has 2 windows laptops, a linkstation NAS (linux) and linux laptop running slimserver. so, i think my only choice to mount the NAS on the linux laptop is using samba (smbfs or cifs). anybody else out there doing this? as in, linux machine running slimserver, with music library on linux NAS (which also serves windows clients for other purposes, i.e. not music). if so: 1. how do you mount the NAS on the linux slimserver? i've beaten my head against the wall with man mount, fstab, etc. but i can't get the linux box to mount the share on the NAS. 2. which is better - smbfs or cifs? 3. should the playlists be saved on the slimserver or on the NAS? thx -- rov ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rov's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10787 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39246 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
