I have a Western Digital TV Live Hub, that is a network device. From XP it can be accessed as \\wdtvlivehub\WDTVLiveHub\ I would like to mount this to LinHES so that I can rsync a large amount of content into the WD device. Is there a mount example that would provide some guidance? Not sure if mount.cifs is the appropiate command for this situation. Thanks. |

According to this review http://www.storagereview.com/western_digital_wd_tv_live_review It' possible to connect with NFS and or Samba Testing with NFS would be easier since it's already setup with /myth/tv (fstab) Samba would also work but the credentials thing is more leg work. I don't have the WD box but as a rule Linux - Linux use NFS Linux - Windows use Samba |

For Samba in general it will look something like mkdir /mnt/WDTV mount -t cifs //wdtvlivehub/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTV If you need to specify a user and password then it should be something like: mount -t cifs //wdtvlivehub/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTV -o user=<username>,password=<password> see also man mount.cifs |

Very nice gentlemen. This allows me to use the CLI tools like rsync. Much faster (2-4X) than drop and drag from an XP box: from SAMBA share (USB HDD) to the new appliance. Really appreciate the help. I think that max speed will be realized when I can root the appliance: I would have finer control over file transfers through the USB and the best possible speed. Update: using rysnc to move a large block of content from USBHDD on mythbox, through network to LiveHUB at 7MB/s, about half the speed when I transfer from one USB to another USB drive. |

If you need to add it to fstab you will add an entry something like: Code: //wdtvlivehub/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTV cifs user=<username>, pass=<password> 0 0
