RE: [ts-7000] Re: samba client on TS-7260

Paul and Charlie,

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

I don't think that I can use nfs since I need to access stand-alone network harddrive (no PCs attached).  I assume that it might be quite tricky and/or complicated to install NFS on embedded device (which btw is new product with minimal documentation). So I am stuck with samba. 

 

I read through chapter 6 of "Linux for ARM" manual.  It does have a good description of how to compile kernel.  What I don't understand is:

1) do I need to recompile the entire kernel or can I just compile one module ("smbfs" ) and somehow insert it into existing TS-Linux on TS-7260?

2) I tried to download and untar the tskernelmodules-2.4.26-ts11.tar.gz and did not find any samba files there.  Where do I find and enable samba / smbfs? Would it be during compilation of kernel modules? ("make modules INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/lib/modules").    Are samba modules be available in Linux 2.4.26-ts11 kernel? If not, where do I get samba modules from?

3) After I will recompile the module according the instructions, would the board run TS-Linux or Debian? Or am I totally confused and Linux kernel has nothing to do with TS-Linux or Debian?

I would also highly recommend using nfs. After reading similar
suggestions on this Yahoo group, I took an old PC and it was very easy
to install FreeNAS (from SourceForge). It is very easy to use as it now
sits between my TS-TPC-7390 and my Windows PC and a Linux PC (where I'm
using the new Debian LXDE).

I hope to write up several pages soon about how to use a couple of old
PCs to set up such a system as part of this educational project:
