DM500s - How to Network Mount?

Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

In openpli /var/etc/init should be a file, not a directory !

Try adding your command at the end of this file.
This file is executed just after network boot but, to be safe, I would add a "sleep 30" before the mount command so we are sure that network boot is complete.

Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

... i found in the etc/init.d some srcipts i tried to edit them to put my own but it hit me with this ""cannot create myScript: Read-only file system

Try inside var/etc/init.d (note the var at the beginning of the path).

Ok, so now you only have to find out where your image keeps the S* (autostart) scripts.
If you tell us what is your image we can give you an help ...

Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

If you have a micro$oft windows based pc you have to use cifs file system to exchange files between the two systems.
Provided you have already a Windows share whose name is "my_win_share" and pc's ip address is 192.168.1.15, on your dm500 you have to issue the following commands:

this is to create the mount directory (do it only once !)

mkdir /mnt/netpc

this is to mount the network share:

mount -t cifs -o user=administrator,password=your_admin_password //192.168.1.15/my_win_share /mnt/netpc

That's all mate !

Great.
in the past, i executed the same on an old decoder Dm6520, but using different protocol on PC.
On my old windows system i installed SAMBA to let share its folder, then using telnet i executed the mount procedure on the decoder to connect the external device to the decoder.
I used this to record movie from the decoder directly to the PC

The power of Linux.

Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

Here som tutorial with pictures i hope will help.

thanks for the file alot but it was taking about mounting from the interface and i need to do it from the shell but thanks again

We need informations about your image (E1, E2 ???).
Anyway, assuming you have a dm500 (enigma1) you can write a user script, example "S81mount.sh", write the mount command inside it and save in /var/etc/rcS.d directory.
Don't forget to chmod 755.
Your mount command will be executed at every reboot .

thanks alot gianni . for ur time and ur answers ..
my sys info is like this .. its dm 500 with enigma 1 installed

i followed ur guide but nothing happened .. First i didn't find any rcS.d dir in the /var/etc so i made it and made a script as u told me and named it S81mount.sh and put my mount as this" mount -t nfs4 nfsserver-name-or-ip:/data2 /mnt/nfs " command there .. but after restart nothing happened . ..

i did test the script alone as i run it worked and mounted the shared forlder till i rebooted the dm only .. after the reboot it didnt auto mount and i had to reRun it again ..

Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

Is it nesesary to set a username and password on my pc ?
Because I don't have any username or pass.
Im running win7 and I enter to win directly without any pass having administrator's rights.
Should I set some special username or pass in order to mount my hdd?

Re: DM500s - How to Network Mount?

Thanks for your answer mate
These commands , how can I give them?
Telnet?
Also , after that, how can I create a link for the folder "var/tuxbox/config/enigma/picon" ?

Yes, all command from telnet and, when everything is working fine, you can put the command in a shell script so that you can run it with a button from remote control.

If your mount point is "/mnt/netpc" you can create a "soft" symlink with the following command:

ln -s /mnt/netpc/ /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/picon
