Raspberry PI as NAS
« on: May 29, 2020, 08:30:09 PM »
Greetings!

I am running several Amiga models with network capabilities on my network and would like to use an RPI 4 as a simple NAS.  I am using Veeam as a backup solution so my intent is to copy all Amiga related files to the RPI as a NAS and then I can copy the entire PI in Veeam and save backups regularly.  Then I wil backup my Amigas to folders on the PI and backup the PI ensuring everything is safe at all times.

In theory anyway.

Issue I am having is I can't seem to write to the PI from my Amiga.  I am able to see the PI share and open it and I can see files on it but I can't write to it.
To make thngs as easy as possible with this initial experiment I am logging into the PI as root and as far as I know I have all permissions set for the root account. and root is the owner of the share as well.
I am wondering if it is because I am using the filesystem EXT4 on the PI?  (But my Synology NAS is also EXT4 and I can read and write to it with no issues.)

Amiga is an 060 3000 running Roadshow and as stated Roadshow with EZ SMB Mounter software and SMBFS.  These are configured and I can read and write to my Synology NAS but not the RPI.
Any suggestions?

TYGRE
Thanks for the response guys appreciate it
Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you but my job got in the way and continues to..

With that in mind I am using SMB Mounter with SMBFS so short answer is yes I am using the correct account and password (I have it prompt me for those each time)
And the shares are accessible with those accounts/passwords from Windows PCs so I am thinking Kolla may be correct regarding the version of SMB as my NAS can be used all the way back to SMB1 so I am betting the PI won't support that out of the box.

Sorry can't get to the PI at the moment but am wondering what is the process to turn on SMB1 on the PI?  Pretty sure that is what is causing my pain.

KOLLA:

Thanks  for the suggestion as I think you are probably correct. I am curious though,  What do you use to connect your Amigas if you don't use SMB?

Nice job Tygre... 
  # Same as "ntlmv1-permitted", for Amiga SMBFS clients
   ntlm auth    = yes
was the ticket. 

Interestingly enough, trying SMB1 errored out but the other suggestion was gold.
Thank you sir!

Interesting..  I would have thought that cross dos would take care of that issue..
Well nothing is ever perfect especially when working with 30 year old tech.

I am just pleased I was able to get the Amiga to see my Linux box.   Now I am going to install Manjaro as a VM and configure as the NAS and then I can keep the entire thing virtualised and backed up that way.  Then I can use my PI4 for something else!

More to come
(And again thank you for the assistance!)

Yeah backing up the PI is no issue, I am wondering what you folks use to backup your Amiga that can utilize a network drive?

I may just do that

One of the things I intend to do is to build up a configuration that has everything on it I want including Rapid Road config, Mui etc and copy it to my network drive.
Then create a CD that has the networking files and config along with SMB Mounter

So the next time I have to build from scratch I can simply install 3.1.4 and connect a CD drive.
Copy the network files with SMB Mounter and mount my NAS
Copy all of the backed up files from my config created earlier and reboot.

Makeshift Amiga Imaging!

And I intend to include all of the different drivers for my networking along with entries for all of them in the config files REMd out and just select the ones I need depending on the network card I am using.
That is the thought anyway.
