Iomega NAS and BIN setup file

[William Frick]

Thanks for that direction. I have looked into askubuntu and the like but no real solution applies. I have got some Samba functions happening with it but the extra features of the 'Home media server Cloud edition' are not to be had on Ubuntu 12.x . 


Apparently some similiar units suport linux with nfs but not this one. It has a 'Copy Job' funtion which I can get to copy smb shares to it. The cloud functions are however bundled into this 'bin' file that 12.x won't support. 


Once three simultaneous copy jobs finish I'll pursue the streaming or playback from it to clients. So far I've moved 300+ gbytes to it with only minor hiccups. A 1 tbyte USB external drive was about the same money so I guess I should take the extras as a bonus.

Back on topic a little, try taking off all types of security on the file shares on the NAS. Samba can be a monster at times with the 1000 permutations of settings (I'm 99% sure the NAS is using samba to do it's file sharing in any case). So whatever login settings, workgroup settings etc it is trying to setup, disable it all. Once this is done, see if you can access the files from your Ubuntu machine. If you can't then it might be worth looking into NFS. If you can, then you can slowly add the security one step at a time on the NAS. The whole windows workgroup thing is for making Vista and 7 machines see the NAS you won't need it for Linux.

good luck.
