[Q] Mounting CIFS / NFS Shares?

---

Has anyone had any luck mounting a cifs/nfs share?

I got cifs working using one of the guides someone posted (I cant post the link yet just google 'How To: Connect TP to network shares') and it was pretty straight forward. The only problem is that I have to mount it each time I restart the device which is more of a hassle than anything else. I had no luck with nfs to mount, but my technical knowledge of that comes from setting up nfs shares with my wdtv player so its very limited.

Did you use uberkernel or f15c? I'll try that search shortly

I have the f15c installed.

Here is the link to get the testing kernels in PreWare

here is the link to do some of the CIFs mounting... I did something different to get the initial mount

http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touc...rk-shares.html

Now for the command line I did the following:
option 1
open WebOS quickinstaller.jar
click tools
select Linux Commandline

option 2
on a windows machine goto C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\terminal>
run novaterm.bat
in the new window click file, then connect

Now that you are in the command line you can use the mount.cifs command

/usr/sbin/mount.cifs (mount.cifs is executable so run it and it will tell you the usage)


/usr/sbin/mount.cifs //device/share /mnt/yourlocaldirectory -o user=username,password=yourpassword


now this won't persist a reboot, so what you'll have to do is edit the /etc/fstab
I used VI from the shell we opened earlier. If you don't know how to use VI then find VIMTutor on your googlebox and get a quick test run


vi /etc/fstab
add the following
//device/share /mnt/yourlocaldirectory cifs username=username,password=yourpassword _netdev 0 0


Save that and reboot and see what happens.. I'm working on getting this to persist a reboot at the moment.

great. thanx. cant wait for update...no persist after reboot yet. THANX

That fit333 and flower doesnt show up in the web version for me or when i edit the post... Weird.

perhaps there is a way, once you install bash or sh to run this by adding

#!/bin/bash <- or whever it installs
mount-a
exit 0

to an rc.local file same as on linux ?

I wish, but there is no rc.local, and no cron. One of the guys I work with gave me an idea... I forgot what it is but I won't have free time to try until friday. Any more ideas would be greatly helpful.

streaming from network shares

---

maybe it's a little bit off topic, let me know...

I tried to play a video from a freshly mounted network share with Touchplayer and it was very laggy. I haven't tried with a local copy yet

I tried to play a song from the network also and the default player wouldn't play

Am I doing something wrong?
