Hi I have a NAS with hdmi used as a home video recorder. I have to communicate with it using cifs. Here is the smb.conf on the NAS: cat smb.conf [global] load printers = no disable spoolss = yes syslog = 1 security = share dns proxy = no debug level = 0 netbios name = NAS workgroup = MSHOME server string = Samba Server [rec] guest ok = yes comment = Rec Partition path = /usr/local/etc/hdd/dvdvr writable = no read only = yes [part1] guest ok = yes comment =HDD Partition 1 path = /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD1 writable = yes read only = no [part2] guest ok = yes comment =HDD Partition 2 path = /usr/local/etc/hdd/volumes/HDD2 writable = yes read only = no If I mount it: mount -t cifs //192.168.1.4/part2 /mnt and delete a file from it, it leaves a file called e.g. cifs03d8 of the same size as the file I've just deleted. I then unmount the cifs on /mnt, Then I have to telnet to the NAS and delete the cifsxxxx file at the command line. Which is instantaneous. But a pain. If I use dolphin or konq to access the NAS: smb:/192.168.1.4/part2 select the file and then hit shift-Supr (I think it's shift-Del on a us keyboard), it deletes it cleanly but takes much longer. What is the difference between mounting the cifs share and using the smb:/ protocol in dolphin? NAS: busybox Client: 11.2 kde 4.3.4 updated yesterday. Both boxes rebooted Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
