mount/access a NAS from wl-500gp/oleg

[onewiki]

I have a terastation (a NAS from Buffalo), but I am having difficulty mounting it from wl-500gp/oleg/samba3. I can access it via smbclient and see it via smbtree, but cannot mount it because the firmware does not have smbmount/smbmnt.

I've tried mount.cifs without success. I've also tried the method from newbiefan, http://www.wl500g.info/showpost.php?...0&postcount=24, but the files he provided seems to work only for samba2, but I want samba3 for its support international character support. I've also tried http://riot.org/seb/smbfs_0.0_mipsel.ipk, but it leads to error segmentation.

I then tried mount my NAS via nfs without success, even though my ubuntu laptop mounted the same NAS via nfs easily. This is what I got:

"showmount -e 192.168.2.4"
Export list for 192.168.2.4:
/mnt/array1 <anon clnt>
/mnt/array1/Buffalo 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0

but then
"mount -t nfs 192.168.2.4:/mnt/array1/Buffalo ./test"
mount: mounting 192.168.2.4:/mnt/array1/Buffalo on ./test failed: No such device

Would someone please provide some guidance on how to mount a NAS from a wl-500gp with samba3 installed? Thanks.

mount: mounting 192.168.2.4:/mnt/array1/Buffalo on ./test failed: No such device


Just a thought: does the directory ./test exist ??

Also the -o is only needed when specifying options, which you aren't doing...

So drop the -o and maybe use an absolute path...

for example:

first make a directory:
mkdir -p /tmp/mnt/nfs

then mount it to that directory:
mount -t nfs 192.168.2.4:/mnt/array1/Buffalo /tmp/mnt/nfs

Simply use samba2 and load smbfs.o (insmod) from that archive: http://wl500g.googlecode.com/files/modules-1.9.2.7-d-r617.tgz

I followed Lesiuk's first link and extracted smbfs.o, and put it in /opt/lib/modules (it can be somewhere else, but not /lib/modules because there it is read-only).

Then I downloaded samba2 from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/samba2_2.2.12-1_mipsel.ipk to my PC and extracted smbmnt and smbmount from that package. I put the two files into /opt/bin.

After that, just
insmod /opt/lib/modules/smbfs.o
mkdir -p test
smbmount /ip address/sharename test

You will be prompted to type in the password. After that you may receive some error codes, such as "load_client_codepage: filename /opt/lib/codepages/codepage.850 does not exist.", but it does not matter.

cd test
you will find the smbdrive has been successfully mounted.
Thank you all for the help.

Now, can someone please help with mounting a NAS via nfs. I have not been able to, even though I was able to mount the same NAS without any problem from a linux laptop.

This is what I have:

"showmount -e 192.168.2.4"
Export list for 192.168.2.4:
/mnt/array1/Buffalo 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0

but then
"mount -t nfs 192.168.2.4:/mnt/array1/Buffalo ./test"
mount: mounting 192.168.2.4:/mnt/array1/Buffalo on ./test failed: No such device

any suggestions? thanks.

I think you must insmod nfs.o from the same archive where you find smbfs.o.

No, that does not solve my problem. I have nfs enabled so nfs mode was already running. And that was when I received the error message "no such device".

Now if I disable nfs from the web interface, and try to "ins nfs.o", then I receive the error message
