Hello,
I assume that within the Linkstation Pro there is an embedded Linux and that the drive is essentially a Linux format. How do I mount the Network Drive (via ethernet) on an Ubuntu command line ?
thx in advance
s
sudo mount -t cifs //ip_address_of_LS/sharename /path/to/mountpoint
you may need to modify that to make it accessable by a normal user, check out the Ubuntu forums for mounting samba volumes.
thank you Colin137,
I have had problems with cifs and Ubuntu, which mostly relate to the file permissions. Is there a way to mount as nfs volume ?
I have tried
sudo mount -t nfs IPAdr:/sharename /path/to/mountpoint
but that does not work.
s
what a pity, thank you anyway

Hi
I bought Link Station Live (LS-CH1.0TL - EU) last weekend
As it is manufactured in Jan 2010 i asume it has all the lates firmwares and updates allready .
I did the setup wizard on my laptop Windows partition and made successfully the backups via ethernet cable there. Had no troubles with accessing it via explore.
Now i want to also backup files at my Linux partition (i am using Ubuntu 9.10 the Karmic Koala )
Problem is i am not familiar with skills/commands how to gain acces to linkstation.
I know the ip that was assigned with setup on windows.
But when i ping it , it tells that host unreachable.
Just in case i tried .
> sudo mount -t cifs //169.254.0.0/share /home/me/share
but even netstat confirms that such ip exists
which ended with error:
> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //169.254.0.0/share,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Please help me to find the right IP for the mounting procedure -.-
