There is a new function in OpenPLi.

 

    Add OpenPli specific smbnetfs configuration and init script

   

    Install smbnetfs and you can browse around your network via the

    regular movieselection. No need for manual mount stuff.

 

Do we have to wait till tomorrow? I can not find it in the plugins. (OpenPLi 4.0 @ vuultimo)

 

root@vuultimo:~# opkg install smbnetfs
Unknown package 'smbnetfs'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package smbnetfs.

It isn't in the feed yet, sorry.

[DoeEensGek]

will it be soon?

Or any way to install in manually?

[MiLo]

It will be in the feed soon (probably tomorrow).

You can build and install your own though...

[athoik]

MiLo,

 

What is the frequency of build feeds; Images hopefully every day.

 

But feeds once in a week it's ok?

Nah will wait . Thx

[littlesat]

Feeds usually with every build... But sometimes it may go wrong.

Now it's downloadable but the Package seems to be broken.

I've got smbnetfs installed now (on Solo2 on PLi from yesterday evening).

But regarding

I have no idea how. Nothing seems to have been changed.

Browse to /media/samba

[Rob van der Does]

media/samba is not present. Maybe due to

fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first 

This was on a virgin flash; no restore, no settings made.

[Rob van der Does]

Reflashed and reinstalled smbnetfs: /media/samba is now present but empty.

Installing samba (opkg install samba) made no difference.

[Rob van der Does]

The networkbrowser sees all cifs locations as usual.

Do I need to install anything extra to get smbnetfs to work?

[WanWizard]

It is always empty by default, it works a bit like autofs.
 
if you do

cd /media/samba/<computername>/<share>

it should automount that share from that computer.
 
If the share is password protected, you need to do

cd /media/samba/user:password@<computename>/<share>

[WanWizard]

And to be complete, smbnetfs also supports a smbnetfs.auth file, that has to be created in the same place as the smbnetfs config file.
 
In it you can put:

auth <ip>/<share> <username> <password>

 

after which you can do

cd /media/samba/<ip>/<share>

without specifying the credentials on the commandline.

[Rob van der Does]

OK, will try that later today.

But if you have to do things this way: what exactly is the advantage over using the network browser that even has a GUI to make life easy?

 

I really thought that the idea would be to freely browse in the samba environment (more or less as Windows Explorer does).

[MiLo]

Which box are you using? Important because it might explain why you don't have "fuse" which should have been integrated in your kernel.

On my box, it immediately shows all workgroups as subdirectories, and below that the machines, and then all shares.

Of course, this will only be the case if your network is browsable to begin with.
