Hey all!
Got myself a NAS drive last week and have been trying to get it mounted on DM500s for recording etc. Been through every post and help guide I can find, but I just can't get it to mount. I've read that this is slightly different for Pli images, but haven't been able to find out why. Here's a list of what settings etc. Any ideas would be muchly appreciated.
Pli Jade3 Maxvar, Dreambox IP - 192.168.0.8
Mount settings:
File system - 2 (SMBFS)
Client directory - /media/hdd
Server directory - dream
IP Address - 192.168.0.2
User name - login for nas drive
password - login for nas drive
These settings are checked - rw, nolock, intr, soft, linux ext.
The folder 'dream' is at the root of the NAS drive and is shared. I can connect to it and transfer files from my laptop. I can even get idreamx (I'm using a mac) to record to it over the network.
I know that you can't mount SMB using the remote, but it doesn't work using the web interface either. I have also read that the /media/hdd directory is intended for internal HDDs (obviously the 500s doesnt have an internal HDD) and that can cause problems. Can I use a different mount point for it? I've tried making a new directory called movies in '/media' (via FTP and telnet) but can't, I get the message 'read only file system'. It won't allow me to change the permissions of the directory using chmod commands either.
I'm fast running out of ideas, and hair at this rate! If anyone has any suggestions, that's be grand!
