Introduction
One of the things you might miss on the router, is writable storage. Well, if you run a Linux samba or Windows server on your LAN, the Samba file system provides a convenient solution! It adds a vast amount of writable storage to your router and even offers an automatic startup script.
Instructions
- Create a SMB network share on the host computer.
- Use the Web Interface and go to the Administration tab.
- Enable the Samba FS Automount option. If new options do not appear the "Save Changes" and go back to the page.
- Enter the share location in the 'share' field. eg: //192.168.1.160/myshare
- In 'user' and 'password' enter the user credentials of a user allowed to access the share.
- You may optionally enter a Startscript. For example if you have a script on your share \\lanserver\myshare\startup.sh you enter startup.sh in the 'Startscript' box. This script (/tmp/smbshare/startup.sh on the router) will be executed when the router mounts your share on boot.
You can see sample of startup script on Jffs page.
Advanced
You may want to manually mount a share. To do this, simply enter this command in a Telnet or SSH prompt:
- /tmp/Path/ is the path you want it mounted
- Don't forget that only /tmp/, /dev/ and potentially /jffs/ are writeable!
mkdir /tmp/Path/ smbmount //<IP.SE.RV.ER>/Share /tmp/Path/ -o username=<user>,password=<password_user>
Receiving errors like this seems normal:
load_client_codepage: filename /usr/lib/codepages/codepage.850 does not exist. load_unicode_map: filename /usr/lib/codepages/unicode_map.850 does not exist. session request to 192.168.1.99 failed Can't get /etc/mtab~ lock filesmbmnt failed: 1
To unmount a share, enter this command in a shell prompt:
umount /tmp/Path/ rmdir /tmp/Path/
Note for Windows users
Especially on Windows Server 2003, assert that your server accepts NTLM v1.
- Goto Start > Run
- Type "gpedit.msc" and push enter.
- Goto Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options.
- Verify that "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" is NOT "Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM"
