I've been a myth user since the .14 days. I have one 0.21 back end on an<br>
old dual xeon dell server with three tuners (150, 250, and 350) and four<br>
frontends.<br>
<br>
I want to increase my storage space and I'm thinking about getting a<br>
NAS. I'm looking at this one:<br>

Looks like I would have to mount the drive using smb. Just wanted to see<br>
if others are successfully doing this and if there are any issues I<br>
should be aware of?<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I store all my data on a file server. I'm using NFS, but I did try smb and it works fine. I did it with autofs. There are a ton of good webpages describing how to set it up if you've never done it before. I went that way as NFS mounts with fstab would occasionally die and it wouldn't try to re-connect them. So I would have to do it manually or reboot the system. autofs takes care of all that for you. I did find it helpful to make symlinks to the autofs mount points as you need to know them before the mount will work properly. <br>
