Setting-up a Network Drive – UNIX and Linux
Before you can set-up a network drive, you must have:
•
NAS file system. See ―Creating a NAS File System‖ on page 109.
•
Unix / Linux sharing enabled. See ―Making UNIX and Linux Protocol Settings‖
on page 104.
•
IP address of the Unix / Linux host designated. See ―Making UNIX/Linux
Sharing Settings‖ on page 107.
On the UNIX or Linux PC with Command Line Interface
To setup a network drive:
1.
Open a terminal window.
2.
Type mount + the iSCSI port IP address + Volume name + Folder name and
press Enter.
Example:
mount 192.168.1.204:/VOLUME1/PUBLIC /mount-point
and press Enter.
You will have a different IP address and possibly different Volume and Folder
names.
Use the mount point you specified when you created the logical drive. See
―Creating a Disk Array – Advanced‖ on page 152 or ―Creating a Logical
Drive‖ on page 156.
3.
Change to the public directory. Type cd /public and press Enter.
You can now copy files to and from the folder on the ASUS Storage.
4.
When you are done with the public folder, type:
cd; umount /PUBLIC
and press Enter.
On the Linux PC with Graphic Desktop
This procedure is for a RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 configuration. If you run a
different version of Linux, you might have to adapt the procedure. See your OS
documentation.
To setup a network drive:
1.
From the Applications menu, choose Network Servers.
2.
In the Network window, double-click Windows Network.
3.
Double-click the ASUS Storage on your network.
On Linux, the ASUS Storage is identified by its Computer Name. See
―Making Windows Protocol Settings‖ on page 102.
