Hello peeps,
Is it possible to mount a drive in linux and if so how do i do it? this is the situation i have
Samba server as PDC and aslo sharing files
NAS - the folder on the NAS i want to share is located at
192.168.1.77/disk-1

basically i would like disk-1 mounted under the directory root directory /

i can then share it through samba.

any idea? please be as descriptive as possible because i am a newbie to linux and also never used mounting before, so if i have to create any mount points or something please explain. cheers

Steve.

as far as i have understood your post must be the folowing

you wanna share a folder of the nas device with the ip of 192.168.1.77. the nas device is also a linux box. the folder is located at /
assuming your folder name is dir. I am using NFS for this
*packages required for the server
nfs-utils
portmap
*package required for client
portmap

# vi /etc/exports
/dir 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync)

*save and exit
#chmod 757 /dir
#service nfs restart
*client side

#mkdir /share
#mount -t nfs 192.168.1.77:/dir /share
#cd /share
#ls
*******I may have misunderstood your situation*****************
