Cifs For Whitelight
Insturctions for adding CIFS (Samba) support for White Light. This will allow your MyBook to mount folder shared by Windows Stations.
- Login as root.
- mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/
The next two lines downloads the file cifs.fo attached to this page and places it in /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/:
- cd /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/
- wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/cifs-for-whitelight/cifs.ko
- echo "/lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko:">> /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/modules.dep
- insmod cifs.ko
Now you can mount Windows directories. For example
mkdir /mnt/xp_machine
mount -t cifs //`net lookup x`/y /xp_machine
where x is your windows box name, and y is the share name. There are many options for the mount command, see for example here, but you should use mount , not mount.cifs.
To mount Time Capsule share:
mount -t cifs //<<ip-addr>>/<<share>> /mnt/<<mountpoint>> -o user=<<username>>,pass=<<password>>,iocharset=utf8
