SMB with Smart Q7?
Tried to no avail... any advice?
smbtree - works, shows my server+drives smbmount - "CIFS not supported" etc... how do I resolve this? read that CIFS is not smbfs, but a virtualised FS... would like to use my shared drives over wifi... thanks! |

cifs needs a kernel driver which we don't seem to have. What we do have is the fuse driver. I've just been playing with fusesmb and have got it working. I'll try to write up a guide in the next day or two when I get some time, but very roughly I followed the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb (I also had to do a "sudo chgrp fuse /dev/fuse")
Also the scanning for shares doesn't work for me, I needed to manually create a fusesmb.cache. Anyway, I'll try to do a guide soon. |

A guide would be awesome. I've used fusesmb with Thunar, works transparently.

Okay a quick guide.
Install fusesmb: Code:
sudo apt-get install fusesmb Code:
sudo adduser user fuse sudo chgrp fuse /dev/fuse Insert the fuse kernel module: Code:
sudo modprobe fuse Make a config file: Code:
mkdir ~/.smb cp /usr/share/doc/fusesmb/examples/fusesmb.conf.ex ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf chmod 600 ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf Now to run fusesmb make the directory you want all your shares mounted under and then point fusesmb at it: Code:
mkdir ~/shares fusesmb ~/shares BUT... for me the auto-finding bit didn't work, now it might just be my network settings or it might be a bug. To tell fusesmb where your shares are edit the file ~/.smb/fusesmb.cache creating it if you need to and add them one per line with the following syntax: Code:
/WORKGROUP/servername/sharename1 /WORKGROUP/servername/sharename2 /WORKGROUP/servername/sharename3 |

well I tried ftp. LOL Q7 has no ftp either, had to apt-get. Looking for an ftp client now, other than "bash" my way through "ftp" with poketyping lol.

Once you setup fusesmb all your shares will appear in the normal filesystem, so you can open files on there with any installed problem as if they were local files. It's well worth giving a go if you use windows shares for things.
