This tutorial is now available as the Amahi [https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-mount-shares-locally Greyhole Mount Shares Locally] application.
* As '''root''' (or precede commands with <code>sudo</code>), install the mount_shares_locally initd script:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally
chkconfig --add mount_shares_locally
=== Amahi 7/8/9 (Fedora) ===
yum install cifs-utils
curl -o /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally <nowiki>http://dl.amahi.org</nowiki>/mount_shares_locally.fedora
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally
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.
=== 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>
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally
sudo update-rc.d mount_shares_locally defaults
== Configuration ==
* Edit As '''root''', edit ''/etc/init.d/mount_shares_locally (as user root) in a text editor, and replace ''your_username**Replace ''"***set this string to your username!***"'' (on line 12) with your username. Example '''For example: username="amahi";*The script may require the MariaDB root password be changed: **Please see [[Database Root Password]] for the appropriate login password (change for Amahi 10 '''ONLY''').{{Code**Also if you changed the MariaDB root password on your own. :<blockquote>Change ''hda'' (line 25) to the appropriate password if needed:<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-break: keep-all;">mysql -u root -p hda -e "select name from shares" hda_production | grep -v "^name$" |Code= nano /etcxargs -d "\n" mkdir -p</init.dpre></mount_shares_locally}}blockquote>
* Create the ''/home/your_username/.smb_credentials'' file. This is a simple text file (use your favorite text editor).
*Enter the following:
username=your_username password=your_password domain=HOME *Verify the ''.smb_credentials'' is owned by root:root or 1stadminuser:users: ls -al /home/your_username/.smb_credentials :'''NOTE:''' your_username and your_password in the .smb_credentials file needs to be the original username (1st Admin User) and password you created when you installed the OS ('''NOT''' ''root''). Also ensure the domain matches the ''Workgroup'' set for shares. *To test your new mounts, you can execute as root user:::<u>Mount</u> systemctl daemon-reload service mount_shares_locally start :<u>Unmount</u> service mount_shares_locally stop :'''service mount_shares_locally startNOTE:'''If you used /etc/rc.local and /etc/fstab to mount shares locally in the past, you can remove what you added in those files now (<u>DO NOT<br/u>remove the drive mount lines). The above initd script replaces all this. == Re-mount to Add new shares ==If you added new share to Greyhole, you need to restart the script by executing as root user (or sudo): service mount_shares_locally restartThis will unmount and remount all your shares, reflecting all the new shares you added. == Where everything is mounted ==You will find the mounted shares in ''/mnt/samba/*''and should look something like this:<br/><pre>drwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Aug 9 23:31 Booksdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Aug 9 23:31 Docsdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Mar 2 16:15 Moviesdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Aug 9 23:31 Musicdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Aug 9 23:31 Picturesdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Aug 9 23:31 Publicdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Jul 29 02:02 TVdrwxrwx--- 2 your_username users 0 Aug 9 23:31 Videos</pre>For example, your "Pictures" share would be located at '''service mount_shares_locally stop/mnt/samba/Pictures''' will unmount . When working with files on the local shares.HDA, access them via this share and <u>NOT<br/u>the traditional /var/hda/files/pictures location.
== Uninstall==To uninstall ''mount_shares_locally'NOTE:', do the following as '''root''' If you used : service mount_shares_locally stop rm -rf /etc/rcinit.d/mount_shares_locally rm -rf /home/your_username/.local and smb_credentials chkconfig --del mount_shares_locally rm -rf /mnt/etcsamba/fstab *Now if you choose to mount shares locally in the pastreinstall later, you can remove what you added your machine will be in those files now (<u>DO NOT</u> remove the drive mount lines)a clean state. The above initd script replaces all this.
==Revise mount_shares_locally ==
{{Warning|<div style<nowiki>== Unable to mount localy after upgrading to Amahi6 ==If you try to run mount using this </nowiki>"color:darkred">This is <b>NOT</b> an officially supported script after you upgraded to Amahi6 you might get greeted by this type of errorfor Amahi. Use at your own risk. We cannot guarantee it will work.</div>}}
Note that this script is based of the Greyhole original one and uses ''/etc/samba/smb.conf'' as the source of your shares and does not load the shares from the database like the old HDA version of the script did. If that behaviour is desired that can be easily added by replacing the lines <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-break: keep-all;">testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf 2>/dev/null | grep "^\[" | grep -v "\[global\]" | grep -v "\[homes\]" | awk -F'[' '{print $2}' | awk -F']' '{print $1}' | xargs -d "\n" mkdir -p</pre> with <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-break: keep-all;">mysql -u root -p -e "select comment from shares" hda_production | grep -v "^comment$" | xargs -d "\n" mkdir -p</pre> '''WARNING:''' Please see [[Database Root Password]] for the appropriate login password. ==Troubleshooting===== MySQL Problems With Newer Versions of Greyhole ===
Since Greyhole moved from SQL Lite to MySQL, you may hit a problem where Greyhole and the mount_shares_locally script both attempt to start before MySQL in bootup, leading to the services not starting properly. If this happens, you can try this to fix it:
* Look for any entries marked S-1. If there are any, they need to be removed. Run the following as root:
