Mounting a windows SMB share to Haiku?

[chaplintokyo]

Hi Haiku friends,

I have a NAS on my home network which I’d like to access if possible from Haiku.

I found a programme called FuseSMB on HaikuDepot and after installing it I see an icon called SMB Network on the desktop but no obvious way in which to mount the Windows SMB share on my LAN.

Is there a tutorial or a primer on FuseSMB somewhere that I can reference, in order to set this up please? Thank you!

This is something that could be improved. Actually, Haiku is only compatible with old samba versions.
I’d recommend doing a forum search with ‘SMB’, you should find few threads about this topic.

Thank you. I’ll have a look around.

I would recommend NFS as SMB v1 is not secured :

Connecting to a NAS

Synology NAS do indeed have NFS support. In addition to enabling the protocol in settings, you may have to set NFS permissions on your shared folders in DSM (go to System Settings, then Shared Folders, select one and click Edit, then you have an NFS-Permissions tab). As already hinted at, never enable SMB v1 on any device, as the encryption of the SMB v1 protocol has been broken a long time ago and your devices will be wide open for ransomware and other attacks.

So after enabling NFS on my NAS, is there something I need to install on the Haiku side to be able to mount the network share?

Create a folder to receive your shared folder and connect to it via command line :

mount_nfs NAS_address:/volume1/shared/folder /boot/home/nfs 0 0

Ugh. I have a project in my repo that does exactly this using userlandfs and libsmb2. But I just haven’t gotten it to production quality yet, due to life happening.
