I obtained a NAS, with a view toward running MySQL on a sever running MS Small Business Server 2003 (yes, I know, it is old, but I don't have authority to upgrade it or wipe it and install Linux on it). Anyway, the latest version of MySQL will not run on that machine. Therefore, I intend to run MySQL on the latest Suse (12.3) on a much newer server that I have almost fixed (this machine will have a 256 GB SSD). So, unless I can mount the NAS in such a way that MySQL on Suse can find it, the 4 TB NAS goes to waste (even though all machines on my LAN can see it and browse to it, which is fine if I only want to use Windows Explorer, or it's Linux equivalents, to copy files to it - but even on Windows, MySQL doesn't seem to see it unless I have mapped a specific MAS folder to a local drive letter, so I assume something similar is true on Linux). Hence my question. NB: I am a programmer, not a system administrator, so I am at a loss as to how to do this. NB: I did a Google search, which resulted in a very poor signal to noise ratio, but ended up confused by the different instructions given for the different distributions. And, worse, a lot of the pages I found were as old as that ancient SBS machine I can't use for this purpose. Obviously, things have changes a lot since then. So, then, how do I do this on the latest Suse releases (12.x)? Thanks Ted -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
