Hello all
I have followed the instructions given in the webpage http://harmonybanter.com/how-to-mount-a-netgear-readyshare-external-drive/ to configure my 2 TB extrernal hard disk attached to N600 router to my network. Even though theconfigurations were for ubuntu they worked pretty well in suse also. and now I have a bookmark in my dolphin folder list stating USB_Storage on 192.168.1.1. However I am not able to use it because of the following reasons:
- This folder is asking me for root access to mount the folder(Temporarily i sorted this by opening dolphin as super user and trying to mount)
- Next is even when opening with root privelage it shows the following error message
"An error occurred while accessing ‘USB_Storage on 192.168.1.1’, the system responded: mount: unknown filesystem type ‘smbfs’ ".
Dont understand what does this mean. I have already installed SAMBA SAMBA utils and CIFS utils
I have even tried to mount the drive through terminal by using the following command mount -a, but that too reported the following error
mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'
Please help me to connect to this hard drive.
FYI:- I have formatted the External hard disk in NTFS file system since I want to use it in windows machines also and some of those machines dont even recognise the HDD if i format it in FAT.
Thank you and best regards
