At the following URL is some purported software with which I need help in preparing a client for my Network Attached Storage and would like for someone here to look at the offering and determine what it is that I need to do exactly to get this onto my machine. I know nothing of compiling and would appreciate some guidance on this matter. I am on 13.1 with KDE desktop and 32-bit machine.

Hi
I see the github repo for pushing to the kernel is GregKH (one of the
openSUSE Kernel developer folks, and also a forum member).
So what is the target system to deploy on? The Open Build Service would
be the best option to build/deploy.

elucidate further for me please?
Hi
Ugh! yum is a RH/Fedora/Centos thing, no need to use in openSUSE,
zypper works fine…
Just follow the instructions here?

I used zypper and got through as shown in my code information in the previous post. I at least had sense enough to try zypper when yum failed but believe I installed yum anyway without understanding what I was doing. 
I’m really bumping around here with those instructions not knowing how to follow them properly. I tried this:
charles@linux-x0up:~/Downloads> su

linux-x0up:/home/charles/Downloads # rpmbuild -tb ndas-3.7.9.x86.tar.gz
sh: 1: command not found

but didn’t get very far. Am I using the right tarball for what I need to do? Thanks for staying with me on this!
I reread the instructions (I had another set of them in a separate tab in my browser) correctly and tried the following:

Don’t know what I’m doing. Sorry. I’m exasperated. Hope you’re still around.

Hi
I am 
I’ll have a play here with it to see what’s up…

Great!. I’m feeling better after some sleep, too.
I’m thinking it’s the newest kernel that I’m using isn’t playing well with the make command. I don’t really know what’s up but that’s what I’m of the opinion it is and I need somehow to include something in that process which will let the make complete properly.
Looking forward to your results in that I will then be able to access my NAS on the network until I learn how to complete the samba networking magic which I am ultimately wanting to be able to accomplish. All in good time. Thanks again for your hand holding.

Hi
Had a small play with it, to be honest it’s a rabbit warren trying to
figure what they are up to…
I’ll still play around, but can you send a PM to user gregkh and
describing your use case and ask him if this is moving forward on the
kernel side as it would be nice to know if his github version is up
with the current 3.11 kernel.
Also the lifetime of the 32bit kernel is on the decline, surprised they
aren’t producing a 64bit one…

10-4 on that. I’ll just hold with what I’ve got until I hear back. Thanks!

Hi
So, I have it starting to build the module with an openSUSE’fied
Makefile, however it is kernel related as I can get it to build further
until it errors, needs code updating for the newer kernel.
Might pay to look for a different NAS solution…?

I am having swimming success with the 2 windows 7 laptops seeing and using the NAS device and it seems such a shame to think about not getting it working with Linux. The device is a bit older unit I’ve had lying around until now and the hard drive in the enclosure is pretty new. I think that I’ll wait to see what kind of response I get from GregKH before I make any decision being that it is his software and I am a paid customer. Surely he would want the software to work with the newest version of OpenSUSE for all the older customers he may have already using these boxes.
Thanks for your experimentation and confirmation that it is indeed kernel related issue. That may mean I am gaining a better understanding of Linux in general. And, for that I am grateful.

Hi
OK, so have you run nmap against the device to see what ports are open
(I would guess 139 and 445), sure you don’t just need to use cifs to
mount the device? Or is it some other issue your having?

No, not run nmap. Didn’t know I had to but will research it and see what it gives.
cifs: Don’t know about this command (?) either.
The issue is that without a client software on the box, I don’t know how else to connect the drive to the system. The windows software was straight forward enough that I learned how to perform the tasks necessary to get it running on my 2 laptops that now are functioning, as I said, perfectly. Truth be told, I don’t really know what to expect with an installation of the software and whether or not it has a GUI (preferable to me) from which to operate the functions. Sorry to be so brain dead about these things but I really don’t know much about Linux at all. And, as you might guess, I am quite an active participant here and have come across some very knowledgeable people who have hand held me through the thick and thin of getting things working.

Hi
OK, so install the gui front end to nmap, it’s called zenmap. I’m
assuming this device gets an ip address on your network? This would be
the ip address you put into the zenmap gui and set it to scan the
device (it should also be run as your root user).

This is weird but I cannot find an IP address assigned to the device, if it has one. The router does NOT see the device at all which I cannot understand.
Zenmap has already been installed with nmap but I saw it giving errors in the terminal prompt box while it was initiated. Didn’t pay any attention yet to what they were but I suppose it wouldn’t have made a difference if I could have entered an IP address.
Is there any other way of trying to locate the IP address of the device, I know it has a MAC address which I can see in the NDAS software.

Yes, nmap can scan for machines alive on your network (“HOST DISCOVERY”
section in the manual). You have to start it on a terminal as root, by
the way.

It is the protocol used by Windows to share directories and things on
the network. About every NAS I have seen supports it.

OK, thanks for this. Would the -sL argument against the 192.168.1.254 address be the manner in which I would accomplish this effort? I’m trying to use Zenmap from a terminal mode root session to be able to conduct my scans. Not much of a command line kinda guy. Sorry, maybe my skills will increase in the future.
RE: cifs - I will look into this later and see what I can find about its use.

-sL is passive, you need an active one.
nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24
for example. Or with zenmap enter host 192.168.1.*, and choose a
profile. Start with the ping scan.
