HOWTO enable cifs mount on La Fonera ==================================== Foreword: This HOWTO does NOT cover samba installation / configuration Method : . Add the following to /etc/ipkg.conf : src gcd http://www.gcd.org/fonera . Update ipkg db root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg update . Install cifs kernel module : root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg install kmod-fs-cifs . Install the mount.cifs binary * WARNING * I noticed that some repositories tend to behave very badly: If the package installs something in, for example, /bin, when removing the package using ipkg, it will remove the WHOLE /bin directory. To prevent this, we will extract the cifsmount package in another machine, then we will simply scp mount.cifs to La Fonera. ON ANOTHER MACHINE (i.e. not on La Fonera) -> fetch this tool: http://www.h2o.ch/zaurus/any/ipkg-extract-zaurus -> fetch OpenWRT's third party package cifsmount: http://downloads.openwrt.org/people/mbm/mips/packages/cifsmount_1.5-2_mips.ipk $ chmod +x ipkg-extract-zaurus $ mkdir unpkg $ ./ipkg-extract-zaurus cifsmount_1.5-2_mips.ipk unpkg $ scp unpkg/cifsmount_1.5-2_mips/sbin/mount.cifs root@fonera:/sbin . Now on La Fonera : root@OpenWrt:~# mkdir /usr/local root@OpenWrt:~# mount.cifs //samba.server.ip/share /usr/local -o user=sambauser .
