2 Qnaps - drive says full. / SAB says 0.0 GB free space

For the protocol I'm not sure, I think right now it's some type of internal mount system from Qnap. Screenshot below.

Qnap1 IP = http://192.168.7.113
Qnap2 IP = http://192.168.7.115

No worries.

Let's assume you're using SMB on QNAP1 (SMB is the default sharing protocol).

SSH into QNAP2 as the 'admin' user, and make a directory to mount your remote share (from QNAP1) at:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /mnt/qnap1/tv

Then tell QNAP2 to mount the TV share (located on QNAP1) to your new mount point on QNAP2. I'm assuming you're connecting as a user called "testuser" with a password of "testpassword". Please change these to match whichever user account on QNAP1 is configured to view/modify the TV share remotely:

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs //192.168.7.113/TV /mnt/qnap1/tv -o username=testuser,password=testpassword

QNAP2 can now see the TV share from QNAP1 if it navigates to /mnt/qnap1/tv

When you're done, unmount it with:

Code: Select all

umount /mnt/qnap1/tv

Note: it's generally undesirable to put your account password in plaintext except that you're mounting this under the 'admin' account, which only the admin has access to, so it's not really an issue here.

I received this error.

Does this mean qnap 1 is using cifs?

[~] # mount -t cifs //192.168.7.113/TV /mnt/qnap1/tv -o username=changed,password=here
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

[OneCD]

What is the share name you're attaching to? Is it 'TV' or something else?

[Fubie]

QNAP
DataVol1
Multimedia/Shared Videos/Videos/TV

[OneCD]

Ah, so you're using the Multimedia share. You'll need to specify that share name instead of TV:

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs //192.168.7.113/Multimedia /mnt/qnap1/tv -o username=testuser,password=testpassword

[Fubie]

I'm still getting an error.

Just to clarify I used Qnap1 and Qnap2 just to describe here.

They are actually QNap and QNap-2.

[~] # mount -t cifs //192.168.7.113/Multimedia /mnt/QNap/TV -o username=changed,password=again:)
Couldn't chdir to /mnt/QNap/TV: No such file or directory

Your target mount location is spelled incorrectly. Watch the character case too - Linux is case-sensitive.

[Fubie]

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing what is spelled incorrectly?

[OneCD]

Your target mount point. You originally created it as /mnt/qnap1/tv.

[Fubie]

Dude! You da man!

That worked!

Thanks for being so patient with me.

[OneCD]

Cool.

Now, you'll need to remake that mount point and run the mount command after each restart of QNAP2. Suggest using something like the RunLast QPKG to do this. Help for it is available on the QNAP Community Forum.

[Fubie]

Do I just install RunLast and not do anything else?

Shouldn't it be configured to run both

mkdir -p /mnt/qnap1/tv
mount -t cifs //192.168.7.113/TV /mnt/qnap1/tv -o username=testuser,password=testpassword

What file needs to be edited to hold this info?

How would I edit this file?

Thanks much.

[OneCD]

Correct.

First install RunLast.

Then create an executable bash script in the RunLast [scripts] directory. You script should look something like this:

Code: Select all

#/usr/bin/env bash

mkdir -p /mnt/qnap1/Multimedia
mount -t cifs //192.168.7.113/Multimedia /mnt/qnap1/Multimedia -o username=testuser,password=testpassword

You can create this script at the CLI using a text editor like 'nano' (installable if you first install the Entware QPKG).

Or you could create this script file on a Windows PC, save it to your NAS 'Public' share, convert the line-ending characters with 'dos2unix', move it to the RunLast scripts directory, then make it executable with 'chmod'.

If you have access to a Unix-aware editor like Notepad++ on Windows, this would save you a step.

Easy!

[Fubie]

I made a file in notepad++(use that alot) with the commands you suggested.

Named the file "tvshows.dos2unix"

Moved it to Qnap2 public folder.

Unsure where to move it to and how to move it there.
