I'm using this to store video files. It attaches to a router, which the KnoppMyth box also attaches to.

Some problems mounting this - I would imagine not KnoppMyth specific, but this may help somebody else with a similar setup.

The problem is, the standard directories on the slug (NSLU2) have spaces, ie //slug1/DISK 1/
Mounting manually using:

works fine. The "\ " sorts the space out.

However, when you edit /etc/fstab this doesn't work. This is the line that got it working for me:

fstab needs \040 to understand a space.

I've then setup some links to link the relevant slug directories for video and music to the myth directories.

Hope this is useful. (If I've posted this in the wrong place please feel free to move - should it be in the wiki? )

I am currently running an NSLU2 running mt-daap server for my music files.

I'm an EXTREME noob to this whole linux thing and I'm getting an error when I try what you posted.

When I manually try to mount I type:
mount -t smbfs //nlsu2/DISK\ 1/mp3 /mnt/network -o username=***,password=**********

The mp3 directory holds all of my music.

I get "Could not resolve mount point /mnt/network" error.

If I read about mount correctly, I need a directory on the myth box called network, which I created.

I'm really not sure what I'm doing here but I would like to have access to my slug which has music, videos and photos stored on it.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
