==Purpose==
Mounting your Samba shares locally within your HDA is useful when you are using Greyhole, and want a process '''running within your HDA''' to write or data in any a way work with those files locallythat ends up in a Greyhole-managed share. The reason is that Greyhole data should '''only be accessed through shares'', not directly onto the local file system, so mounting those shares locally is an easy way to work with Greyhole data safely. For example, if an app like a downloader gets files from the internet and you want those files to be in a Greyhole-managed share, it has to place them into the share, not directly into the operating system, or Greyhole otherwise cannot handle them. __TOC__
== Download and Setup ==
* As '''root'''(or precede commands with <code>sudo</code>), install the mount_shares_locally initd script:
=== On Amahi 10 or greater (Fedora) === dnf install cifs-utils cp /usr/share/hda-ctl/mount_shares_locally /etc/init.d chmod +x /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally chkconfig --add mount_shares_locally === Amahi 7/8 /9 (Fedora 19/21) ===
yum install cifs-utils
curl -o /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally <nowiki>http://dl.amahi.org</nowiki>/mount_shares_locally.fedora
chkconfig --add mount_shares_locally
::'''NOTE:''' <code>yum</code> (deprecated) has been replaced with <code>dnf</code> as the package manager for Fedora 23 or greater. === On Amahi 6 (Ubuntu 12.04) ===
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils curl
sudo curl -o /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally <nowiki>http://dl.amahi.org/mount_shares_locally.ubuntu</nowiki>
