DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Dear all,
I own a DNS-323 now for 2 weeks and have spent HOURS and HOURS trying to get mounts to work properly from Linux (Kubuntu 8.10 x64).
I tried searching all of this stuff but just can't get any solution, here are my problems:

DNS-323, Firmware 1.05 (latest regular available on HP), 2x1TB WD Green, RAID-1
The box doesn't need to do ANYTHING but act als file server for the LAN clients. No restrictions, groups, or whatever.
Everything is working as intended from the Windows boxes (even if they are VISTA x64).

From the Linux box the following error occurs using CIFS (or SMBFS) mount, copying files TO the NAS (no errors copying from the NAS):
Dolphin tells me:
"Could not change permissions for /(target folder on NAS)",
but the file transfer is OK.
This would not be a major problem, but applications cannot work with data stored on the NAS giving different types of error messages.
Changing user, group, permission settings in the mount command doesn't change anything.

So I thought, OK, go with NFS for the Linux box(es) and installed the Fun-Plug.
Enabled SSH, started NAS (unfsd) but I can not get Linux to mount to the NAS.
The error message is:
"mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting"

The exports file tells me that I SHOULD have access to the shares:

/mnt/HD_a2 10.0.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/HD_a2/store 10.0.0.2(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

I edited the 2nd line for testing one particular client and share.

I also have tried using names instead of IPs, different mount points, etc.

Any ideas, suggestions would be VERY welcome, no matter if it leads to any working solution, no matter if Samba or NFS.

Thanks !
Burns

There is a samba bug reported here http://www.zeitoun.net/articles/dsn323- … -bug/start
that may apply to your situation.

First, try to edit the smb.conf file (by hand) to see if the "msdfs" option provides a solution;
however, it is quite risky to make the smb.conf changes permanent with the "upload of
configuration settings via web interface" method described by the linked article.

A safer method is to use a script to replace the default smb.conf with your
edited one. See http://dns323.kood.org/forum/p7876-2007 … html#p7876
for details

OK, thank you, I will give it a try.

OK, after trying this I got following the results:

Adding the nodfs option to the mount command solves the timeout at shotdown but does nothing to my write problem.

Uploading a custom smb.conf file to the DNS-323 also doesen't change a thing, I tried:
- Changing the security option from SHARE to USER.
- Using a minimalstic conf file with only basic global options (no mask/mode settings, etc.) and the shares.
- Force User / Group at share
and maybe some other 100 sane / insane combinations of conf and mount commands.

I also tried booting the system fom the CD, and also no difference on another computer with the same OS.

I think the next move is to try out another linux distro as it seems there is no way to get this running on Kubunto 8.10 x64.

So, other distros work without any problem as intended.

I tested with Live CDs of Knoppix 6 and a Debian Etch based CD, both x86.

f*ck

OK, next step: Kubuntu 32Bit Version (let's use less RAM)

OK, kind of solved:

This really seems to a KDE 4 issue.

My setup (default Samba on NAS) works with Gnome, KDE 3.x, LXDE and any console setup.

Tested:
Kubuntu 8.10 x64, KDE 4.1.x ->no go
Kubuntu 8.10 x32, KDE 4.1.x ->no go
Lenny x64, KDE 4.1.x Backports ->no go
Lenny x64 "Desktop" Setup with Gnome ->works
Knoppix 6 (think it is x32), LXDE -> works
Kubuntu 8.04 x64, KDE 3.5.x ->works
(but still bringing up the "Could not change permissions" message)

Hope it saves someone the approx. 50 hours I spent on this issue.
