I installed an SSD, 2GB of RAM and an upgraded battery on my Thinkpad T60. \u00c2\u00a0Rather than copy my old installations to the SSD, I installed Ubuntu 13.10 via USB drive<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0It went off without a hitch and, boy, is the SSD fast! \u00c2\u00a0The instructions in earlier posts cover everything I’ve done so far, but the old directions to connect to the NAS<\/a> are kinda sketchy, so I’m updating them here.<\/p>\n

Install support for CIFS. It’s in package cifs-utils<\/code>.
\nIn my home directory:
\n$ mkdir ds411p2<\/code>
\nAs root, add this to the end of \/etc\/fstab<\/code>:
\n\/\/ds411p2\/home \/home\/me\/ds411p2 cifs user,uid=me,gid=me,rw,suid,credentials=\/home\/me\/.ds411p2pwd 0 0<\/code>
\nEdit \/home\/me\/.ds411p2pwd<\/code> to look like this:
\nusername=my NAS username<\/em>
\npassword=my NAS password<\/em><\/code>
\n$ chmod 0600 ~\/.ds411p2pwd<\/code>
\nAs root:
\n# mount ~\/ds411p2<\/code>
\nIn \/home\/me<\/code>, replace Documents, Lyrics, Music, Pictures, Videos and any other shared directories in home with soft links to the respective directory in ~\/ds411p2<\/code>.<\/p>\n

I have some shared directories on the NAS that can be accessed by anyone in the group ps411p2<\/code>. To mount them, edit \/etc\/fstab<\/code> as root and add:
\n\/\/ds411p2\/video \/mnt\/ds411p2-public-video cifs rw,suid,gid=ds411p2,credentials=\/etc\/ds411p2pwd 0 0
\n\/\/ds411p2\/music \/mnt\/ds411p2-public-music cifs rw,suid,gid=ds411p2,credentials=\/etc\/ds411p2pwd 0 0
\n\/\/ds411p2\/photo \/mnt\/ds411p2-public-photo cifs rw,suid,gid=ds411p2,credentials=\/etc\/ds411p2pwd 0 0<\/code>
\nOf course, add the group ds411p2<\/code> on the client and give it to the appropriate users. You can use gnome-system-tools<\/code> to do this. (It’s not installed by default.) Also as root, create the directories in \/mnt<\/code>.
\nEdit \/etc\/ds411p2pwd<\/code> as root to look like this:
\nusername=NAS guest username<\/em>
\npassword=NAS guest password<\/em><\/code>
\nAs root:
\n# chmod 0600 \/etc\/ds411p2pwd
\n# mount -a<\/code>
\nMake sure you can see the files as you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
