chillpill Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So something went bad with my unraid machine. I cannot access the share or gui at all. Connecting the drives to ubuntu box see's the drive but does not let me see the data. Says Permission denied. Has anyone tried to do something like this? My ubuntu is on ReiserFS file system.

Dase Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You can check this post for some additional info: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13317.0. I use a line like this in my Ubuntu fstab to mount my unRAID shares: //192.168.0.10/disk1 /mnt/disk1 cifs username=<unRAID user>,password=<unRAID user password>,noperms,uid=nobody,gid=users 0 0 Quote Link to comment
chillpill Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Dase, Thanks for the reply. This place almost made me pull my hair. Anyways I am new to linux world. I don't have any password for my unraid server, so what to replace the blank password? //192.168.0.10/disk1 /mnt/disk1 cifs username=root,password=<unRAID user password>,noperms,uid=nobody,gid=users 0 0 Also, so i need to use the command prompt of ubuntu instead of GUI?

Dase Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm not sure how to do it from the GUI. From the command prompt, do something similar to the following. 1. On your Ubuntu box create a directory to hold your unRAID shares. I created one at the root called tower. sudo mkdir /tower sudo mkdir /tower/disk1 2. Let's mount the unRAID disk1 inside your Ubuntu /tower/disk1 (my unRAID is at 192.168.0.10, change this to match yours): sudo mount -t cifs -o noperm,user=<unraid user>,password=,uid=nobody,gid=users //192.168.0.10/disk1 /tower/disk1 3. Check to make sure it worked: cd /tower/disk1 ls You should see your unRAID disk1 directories. Quote Link to comment
chillpill Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Dase, may be miss-communicated the issue to you. I cannot connect to my unraid box from my network. The gui and share cannot be accessed. So I am trying to physically connect the unraid drives to ubuntu machine (thru usb or sata) and then access the data that ways. So connecting to unraid from ubuntu cannot happen. Quote Link to comment
PCRx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Chillpill, It looks to me like that's exactly what Dase has just explained to you. Do everything he says from your Ubuntu box not unRaid. Quote Link to comment
chillpill Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 PCRx, So may I ask, in command line sudo mount -t cifs -o noperm,user=<unraid user>,password=,uid=nobody,gid=users //192.168.0.10/disk1 /tower/disk1 What is the purpose of ip address? Quote Link to comment
chillpill Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 As i thought, IP address did not work. I attached the drive to ubuntu system and located the path. The problem now is it show the folder empty. I know there is content in there coz used another tool on window that did show the data in there but was read-only tool, so relief there, but could not copy/paste. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment
PCRx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sorry, brain fart on my part. Yes, that method won't work if you have the drive installed in your Ubuntu machine. Here's what I think you are wanting to do: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5194.0 -PCRx Quote Link to comment
