After trying the kioslaves in the desktop of my choice (KDE) and the FUSE programs Fusesmb and SmbNetFs, I was not really satisfied. There had to be a way to let my computer discover all the workgroups/domains, the hosts and the shares, and mount a share on a hosts on demand. falko Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:56:28 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-an-nfs-like-standalone-storage-server-with-glusterfs-3.2.x-on-ubuntu-11.10 This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Ubuntu 11.10. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA. falko Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:27:00 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/mounting-remote-directories-with-sshfs-on-ubuntu-11.10 This tutorial explains how you can mount a directory from a remote server on the local server securely using SSHFS. SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a filesystem that serves files/directories securely over SSH, and local users can use them just as if the were local files/directories. On the local computer, the remote share is mounted via FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). I will use Ubuntu 11.10 for both the local and the remote server. falko Tue, 06 Dec 2011 10:36:53 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-domaincontroller This is a detailed description about setting up an Ubuntu based server (Ubuntu 7.10) to act as file- and printserver for Windows(tm) workstations in small workgroups. This howto uses the tdb backend for SAMBA to store passwords and account information. This is suitable for workgroups for up to 250 users and is easier to set up than an LDAP backend. falko Fri, 23 Nov 2007 11:06:06 GMT
