Buffalo LS-QL/R5

Bought a Buffalo Ls-QL/R5, a network aware server (NAS) that is acually an embedded linux device with apache / printer server and samba set up (altho tightly).

Some have had some success in hacking into earlier versions, so that they can give them additional functionalities etc. but so far no one with this device.

Like many devices in the world it is marketed as a window centric tool, but can be used in a linux environment.

However, many people have difficulty mounting it correctly. The solution that worked for me was:



mount //192.168.1.203/share /mnt/BUF -o user=myname,password=mypwrd,r,w,dmask=0777,fmask=0777


from the command line or in fstab



//192.168.1.203/share /mnt/BUF -o user=myname,password=mypwrd,r,w,dmask=0777,fmask=0777
