Features
The LS-LGL series is a very stripped down NAS compared to the other LinkStations.
- 1Gb/s Ethernet Port.
- No configuration through web browser.
- Can only be configured with NASNavigator application on the CD.
- Uses a fixed hostname "LS-LGL" and the last three digits of the MAC address.
- Uses only workgroup "WORKGROUP".
- Has only a single share for the whole drive.
- Can be configured for a simple password protecting the share (no user administration).
DNS Issues
- Edit the nsswitch.conf file, make it "dns hosts: files", this should resolve all dns issues.
Custom Samba Configuration
Some will notice that editing, /etc/samba/smb.conf will not save changes when you reboot, this is because Buffalo have embedded a reconfiguration script to prevent any issues, this script is launched on start up.
So first lets edit out the configuration script:
nano /etc/init.d/smb.sh
Comment out the configuration block, i.e.:
configure() { ## configure files from Buffalo parameters. echo "configure samba" touch /etc/printcap /usr/local/sbin/nas_configgen -c samba if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "$0 configure fail" exit 1 fi }
Make it:
#configure() #{ # ## configure files from Buffalo parameters. # echo "configure samba" # touch /etc/printcap # /usr/local/sbin/nas_configgen -c samba # if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then # echo "$0 configure fail" # exit 1 # fi #}
Then also a few lines down in the start() block edit this:
start() { configure
To this:
start() { #configure
So now at bootup when the samba script runs, it will not reconfigure it self.
Now lets add a simple share
mkdir /mnt/disk1/sharename chmod 777 /mnt/disk1/sharename
And edit the smb.conf
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
This is the current share:
[share] comment = LinkStation folder path = /mnt/disk1/share browsable = yes printable = no writable = yes guest ok = yes force create mode = 666 force directory mode = 777 vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = trashbox recycle:keeptree = 1 recycle:versions = 1 recycle:directory_mode = 777
So lets make our own:
[sharename] comment = Our new share path = /mnt/disk1/sharename browsable = yes printable = no writable = yes guest ok = yes force create mode = 666 force directory mode = 777 vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = trashbox recycle:keeptree = 1 recycle:versions = 1 recycle:directory_mode = 777
Now if you want to get rid of that annoying trashbox just remove these lines:
recycle:repository = trashbox recycle:keeptree = 1 recycle:versions = 1 recycle:directory_mode = 777
And to restart samba
/etc/init.d/smb.sh restart
