Support for NAS?

Sat Jun 07, 2014 6:23 pm

Does the RPi support acces to my NAS? (via Wifi dongle) (D-Link ShareCenter) Which protocols are used?

Samba/cifs or NFS should be supported by most NAS devices.

Linux & NFS are best buddies.
Linux & cifs can be a right royal PITA.

Thanks. Do you know any good source about configuring NFS? (I intend to try it between my linux laptop and my NAS before trying it on a RPi)

I run Ubuntu on a Viglen MPC-L server
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/servergui ... ystem.html
has the details of how to get started with NFS (and works like that on a RPi).

All three linux machines get some extra lines in /etc/fstab

Code: Select all

192.168.1.230:/i-data/nfs/home   /home  nfs defaults 0 0
192.168.1.230:/i-data/nfs/shared /shared nfs defaults 0 0
192.168.1.230:/i-data/nfs/server /srv nfs defaults 0 0
