Connecting To A NAS

[Kyuuketsuki]

I have an LG NAS ... can anyone tell me how I mount a permanent connection to it from Kubuntu?

OK,

I've figured part of it ...

I suspect an earlier command allowed me to d the subsequent two i.e:

sudo apt-get install smbfs

As far as I know that instaled SAMBA ... there's no specific reason SAMBA is doing this, I'm just assuming the shares are SMB because I previously used the NAS with Windows.

Then I ran the following:

sudo mkdir /drvs/
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=userid,password=password //192.168.1.2/smbshare /drvs

This worked (and confirms SMB/SAMBA).

You'll notice the use of SUDO (root) ... yeah it works but I have no real access to the shares (read only) which I suspect is due to my mount point being restricted to root.

Is there a better way to do this so I can get full read/write?

It all depends on where you want to mount it. If the mount point is owned by root then little wonder that only root has access to it. Change drvs permissions for starters and you shouldn't need to use sudo any more...

System Settings -> Network and Connectivity... Sharing

That has worked for me in maintaining connections to NAs via samba.
