Using the old autofs/automount service you don't need to edit fstab but you have to edit a configuration file and add another. So, there will be little chance to render your system unbootable.
I've just installed Smb4K v2.01 from KDE:Extra, which seems to work miracles for others judging from some forum posts, but immediately upon launching, where it tries to initiate a network scan, it comes up with an error: Retrieving the list of available domains failed
Nothing more?
Nope
I'm starting to wish I hadn't bothered. Not only has this already stolen half my weekend, but browsing through some of my music files on the shared drive from the other machine, I see many of the directory and filenames have now been inexplicably randomized. It could take weeks to repair the damage.
Just browsing them shouldn't alter any data on your disk. If you physically connect the drive to one of your computers, you will see the original file names again. However, when browsing the samba share, files with illegal name (for Windows/ SMB) might look(!) mangled. The samba server on your Freebox does this on the fly for compatibility with Windows.
Phew! Well thank feck for that. I plugged it back directly into the PC's USB port and indeed, the original filenames show as before. I haven't double-checked yet how the names translate within something like Clementine. If they get forced into 8:3 format there I'd have to look at NFS, FTP or some other way of accessing the drive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
