Store you HDA shares on a NAS

I like to keep my mass storage on a NAS, but I want the stock shares on my HDA to work as designed. the following is my method for mounting my NAS share as my "/var/hda/files" directory. I chose that spot for convenience but you can put it anywhere you would like. I used the "Connecting to a Server by Mounting your HDA" as a template so the credit has to go to it's author. Here we go...

Everthing I did below is done in putty from a cli interface, Install download putty and enter you hda name or address in the address line. Login as root or "su -".

  • We need to create a credential file to mount on startup:

sudo nano /root/.smbcredentials

  • Add the following lines:

(You must change hda_username and hda_password to the correct user name and password for the NAS to connect to):

username=hda_username password=hda_password

  • Save the file by hitting ctrl+x, type "y" to save the buffer, and <enter> to exit.
  • Now, change the permissions of the file so only root can read and edit it:

sudo chmod 700 /root/.smbcredentials

  • Let's back up our fstab: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_old
    • If needed you may return to the original this way:

sudo mv /etc/fstab_old /etc/fstab

  • Now we edit fstab:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

  • Add this line at the end:
       //hda/music /media/music cifs credentials=/root
       /.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
  • Finally, test your settings to make sure they work:

sudo mount -a
