hi all

could anyone provide a walkthrough of how to mount my DNS320 (specifically my music collection) in a machine running Debian 6.0.4 Squeeze.

my IP is 192.168.1.68, my music is located on the DNS under volume_1/music
What else do i need to know? I guess a mount point? How do I determine this?

FYI the both machines are ethernet wired via my router

Help very much appreciated!  
Tks

took me a while after finding various methods on various forums (none of which worked specifically but various elements pieced together did).

First I set my IP address for the DNS320 to static (using the LAN settings in the Web Interface)

Then in the debian terminal I created a directory under media called dlink (call it whatever you like though)

mkdir /media/dlink/

I then edited the fstab settings with

nano /etc/fstab/

after the last line i added (using my now fixed IP for the 320)

//192.168.1.68/Volume_1/ /media/dlink

(Doing this means you keep the mount when you reboot the debian machine) ctrl X to exit and y to save, then hit enter to return to terminal, then

mount /media/dlink/

it was immediately clear that something had worked as I heard the 320 disks spin-up.

Hope this is usefull for anyone attempting to do the same thing
