Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi

Trying to mount an external drive that is on my Netgear router. With the Pi I can get there through the network bookmark in PCManFM. I can save and read the items on the drive. I can't get to it from the command line. I am trying to auto save video streams using the on-board camera and Motion. I can save the stream to any folder on the Pi, but it won't save to the network drive

I think the issue is my not being able to find it from the command line so I am not entering the right path in Motion.conf.

Thanks

Hi,

Don't know exactly what need to be done, but it sounds like to mount a Samba drive if it can be accessed by typing smb://xxx.xxx.xxx in the address bar of PCManFM.

In that case try listing the drives once it is accessible from your system by running he below command

Df -h

And check if the drive which is on net gear is visible here if not mount it using the mount command

Mount netgearpath (mount point)

Then try to check if you have the drive working....
