| Post subject: | mounting multiple network shares into a single folder |
I'm wondering if it's possible to mount more than one network share into a single folder. I have media in multiple locations on my network (which is unavoidable at the moment), and would like all videos from the network to be mounted into the /myth/video folder. Right now, I have the following in /etc/fstab to mount a share: Code: //Hostname/share /myth/video smbfs 0 0
Within my network shares, I have separated content into subfolders such as TV, Movies, Sketches, Music Video, etc. Sadly, storage constraints don't allow me to have everything from each section in a single folder, but I'd like them to show up that way when browsing in Myth. Does anyone know how I might solve this problem? (My shares are on XP machines, and I've tried creating windows shortcuts, but they are apparently ignored by linux.) |

yes and no. you cannot mount multiple places to one folder, however you can create multiple folders inside that folder and mount it there, and myth will parse all subfolders. |

I have a similar setup to what it sounds like you are wanting to do. /dev/hda4 is mounted as /myth /dev/hdb1 is mounted as /myth/video in /myth/video I separate TV, Movies, Home Videos, etc... an smb mount is mounted to /myth/music and another is mounted to /myth/gallery I don't know if it is important, but setup your fstab so that they mount in descending order and you should be fine. |
