 How to add Samba mounts to the Mvix Ultio internal drive, using the modified Samba module
Solution This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to add samba mounts for the Mvix Ultio,
using the updated Samba module found here Samba Module 1.1 

NOTE:  THIS WILL NO LONGER WORK ON FIRMWARE 3.0/3.12 and NEWER FIRMWARE

Purpose : Show the steps to add Samba mounts to the Mvix Ultio's internal drive.

Steps:
  1. Ensure you have a telnet client.  For our example we will be using the Windows Telnet client.

  2. Go to Start -> Run -> type CMD <enter>.  You should then see the Command Prompt Window.



  3. telnet ultio <enter>.

  4. When prompted for the username type root <enter>.



  5. You will now be logged into the Ultio.  Type vi /tmp/hdd/root/samba/mountdrives.sh<enter>  This will put you into VI editor mode.

  6. Hit the down arrow until you get to the bottom line.  Hit the right arrow until you get to the end of the example line, and hit 'a', then 'enter'.

  7. Now you will need to mirror the example and type "mount -t cifs -o username=guest //serverIP/sharename /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/Mountpoint".  If using an account which requires a password the username=account should be followed by ,password=userpassword.  Then hit the Escape key 'Esc', hit the ':' key, type 'x!', and then 'enter'.  The file will now be saved.  *NOTE* Users of firmware 2.11 and above will need to use /tmp/HDD/volumes/HDD1/ .  Also the paths in linux ARE case sensative.  



  8. Now we need to create the mount point, type "mkdir /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/Mountpoint".  *NOTE*  Users of firmware 2.11 and above will need to use /tmp/HDD/volumes/HDD1



  9. At this point you can either run the command /tmp/hdd/root/samba/mountdrives.sh   This will mount the samba share you specified.  If you type mount <enter> you will then see the mounted Samba share.







  10. You have now concluded the setup. Whenever the Ultio boots, it will mounts this Samba share.
