I am new to unRAID but I have been using Linux for around 15 years. I have been working to get my Mythtv Back-end off the slow HP microserver it is running on and onto the AMD 8350, 8 core, 32 GB Ram, 15~ish TB unRAID box I built. Before you say, "Why don't you use the Docker Myth Back-end?" I use two Hauppauge HD PVR's for recording and it has been a chore to set those up in Ubuntu. Also, I could find no documentation on how I could possibly set them up in the docker system. All that said, here is my issue.
I have finally gotten everything working the way I think it should with the HD PVR's and I am ready to have them write to this HUGE space.... But it won't work. I have tried to mount them several different ways and each way a normal user can't write (make files or folders) on the shares without invoking sudo. I can write to those shares from a windows box as a normal user just fine but I can't do it from my ubuntu 14.04 LTS server (cli only) to save my life.
This share security is set to public for both SMB and NFS. I tried;
//192.168.0.151/mythstorage /storage cifs credentials=/home/myusername/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
I also tried;
//192.168.0.151/mythstorage /storage cifs username=myusername,password=mypassword,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
I finally tried;
sudo mount 192.168.0.151:/mythstorage /storage
With the first two, the share mounted but I can't write to it without using sudo and that just isn't going to work with mythtv. The "sudo mount" command just times out. Thanks in advance for your help. I have worked on this for about 10 - 12 hours today so I apologize if this sounds a bit annoyed. :-)
