This tip provides the necessary steps to mount a VPSA SMB share using Ubuntu.
Step 1: Install the CIFS Utils pkg
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Step 2: Create a mount point
sudo mkdir /mnt/local_share
Step 3: Mount the volume
sudo mount -t cifs //<vpsa_ip_address>/<export_share> /mnt/<local_share>
You can get the vpsa_ip_address/export_share from your VPSA GUI. Just remember to change the Windows backslash to Linux forward slashes:
Using NAS Access Control on the VPSA
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=<user on VPSA> //<vpsa_ip_address>/<export_share> /mnt/<local_share>
You will be prompted for password
Mounting at boot
add to /etc/fstab file:
//<vpsa_ip_address>/<export_share> /mnt/<local_share> cifs user=<user on VPSA>,pass=<passwd on VPSA> 0 0
