[REQUEST] Solution and Help (SMBFS)

[nitr8]

Folks,

I have smbfs up and running nicely, however I would like to know if we could possibly integrate this into the network settings apposed to the way i have it.

Files You Need!

What I did
1. put smbfs.o into /lib/modules/2.4.??.??-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs/
2. put libnsl.so.1 into /lib
3. put smbmount and smbmnt to /bin - chmod 755
4. put smb.conf into /var/etc and symlink /etc/smb.conf to var
5. put smb_launch into /var/etc/init.d/ - chmod 755
5. touch /var/etc/.smbfs

6. add this to rcS

# Load smbfs if enabled
if [ -e /var/etc/.smbfs ]; then
$IM $MD/smbfs.o
/var/etc/init.d/smb_launch
fi

That was it, i also added a Boot/Drivers Option as you can see below, but it would be cool if we could add it to the network menu and save the settings in neutrino.conf and somehow pars that info to mount the share.




smb_launch

# Samba Server Settings
server_ip=192.168.1.100
share01=samba
#share02=mp3
#share03=movies
#share04=epg

#The username and password
user=Your_Username
pass=Your_Password

# The main directory the mounts will be mounted in
mnt_dir01=/mnt/samba
#mnt_dir02=/mnt/mp3
#mnt_dir03=/mnt/movies
#mnt_dir04=/mnt/epg

workgroup=tuxbox

# Mount the Shares
smbmount //$server_ip/$share01 $pass -I $server_ip -U $user -W $workgroup -c "mount $mnt_dir01"
#smbmount //$server_ip/$share02 $pass -I $server_ip -U $user -W $workgroup -c "mount $mnt_dir02"
#smbmount //$server_ip/$share03 $pass -I $server_ip -U $user -W $workgroup -c "mount $mnt_dir03"
#smbmount //$server_ip/$share04 $pass -I $server_ip -U $user -W $workgroup -c "mount $mnt_dir04"

Hm... klingt nach nem brauchbaren Ersatz für den "alten" Cifs Client...
Auch andere Optionen aus dem Menue gefallen...

[PT-1]

Ich frag Ihn via MSN oder im IRC wenn du mir sagst was du an dem extra Menu magst

[palace]

Naja, neben SMB das ein/ausschalten von Automount.
Da derzeit CIFS (client) ja nur eingeschränkt läuft, braucht automount ja nicht zu laufen

[nitr8]

cant post diffs cvs is out and to many other changes. But here is what i did

apps/tuxbox/neutrino/src/neutrino.cpp

Code: Alles auswählen

const driver_setting_files_struct_t driver_setting_files[DRIVER_SETTING_FILES_COUNT] =
{
        {LOCALE_DRIVERSETTINGS_AUTOMOUNTER   , "/var/etc/.automount"     , OPTIONS_OFF0_ON1_OPTIONS },
        {LOCALE_DRIVERSETTINGS_AUTOSMBFS     , "/var/etc/.smbfs"         , OPTIONS_OFF0_ON1_OPTIONS },
        {LOCALE_DRIVERSETTINGS_BOOTINFO      , "/var/etc/.boot_info"     , OPTIONS_OFF0_ON1_OPTIONS },

apps/tuxbox/neutrino/src/system/settings.h

Code: Alles auswählen

#if HAVE_DVB_API_VERSION == 1
#define DRIVER_SETTING_FILES_COUNT 8
#else
#define DRIVER_SETTING_FILES_COUNT 7
#endif

apps/tuxbox/neutrino/data/locale/english.locale

Code: Alles auswählen

driversettings.automounter Start Auto-Mount
driversettings.autosmbfs Start Samba Auto-Mount

apps/tuxbox/neutrino/src/system/locals.h

Code: Alles auswählen

LOCALE_DRIVERSETTINGS_AUTOMOUNTER,
LOCALE_DRIVERSETTINGS_AUTOSMBFS,

apps/tuxbox/neutrino/src/system/locals_intern.h

Code: Alles auswählen

"driversettings.automounter",
"driversettings.autosmbfs",

rcS

Code: Alles auswählen

# Load smbfs if enabled
if [ -e /var/etc/.smbfs ]; then
        $IM $MD/smbfs.o
        /var/etc/init.d/smb_launch
fi

if [ -e /var/etc/.automount ]; then
        /etc/init.d/start_automount
fi

does this help?

[nitr8]

Ok here goes i dropped the idea of above and have come up with integrating smbfs with the current NFS/CIFS/FTPFS settings:






diff --> http://www.pt-1.net/nitr8/smbfs.diff

I will see if i can upload a test image, a little later.

P.S. the diff does not build the smbfs stuff, i cannot get newmake to build it for me.

space:

[root@lebelo:~]# du -h /bin/smbm*
/bin/smbmnt 8.0k
/bin/smbmount 171.5k
[root@lebelo:~]# du -h /lib/modules/2.4.34-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs/
/lib/modules/2.4.34-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs 70.0k
[root@lebelo:~]#

so in total 249.5K

[new.life]

looks sophisticated! please tell something about the performance compared with the CIFS-Client

[nitr8]

how and what would you like me to compare it with?

[new.life]

please test the r/w speed.

I think he want's an example on how to test it (command) ;-)

Fuer alle die des Englischen nicht so Herr sind das obige Diff (hoffentlich bald im CFS) ermoeglicht Samba im Netzwerk Menue weil viele User ja ein Problem mit dem CIFS haben.

Leider hat es Nitr8 noch nicht hinbekommen die smbfs Sachen via Newmake zu bauen.

[dwilx]

So wie ich das sehe sind das nur Diffs für Codefiles
Oben steht

rcS
Code:
# Load smbfs if enabled
if [ -e /var/etc/.smbfs ]; then
$IM $MD/smbfs.o
/var/etc/init.d/smb_launch
fi

if [ -e /var/etc/.automount ]; then
/etc/init.d/start_automount
fi

noch eine Ergänzung für die rcS.
Wo besteht genau das Problem das in newmake einzubauen?

you do not need anything in rcS its built into CFSMounter so it will start if you selected it to start in neutrino.

[CFSMounter] Mount(3) 192.168.1.100:/nitr8 -> /mnt/samba

you do not need smb_launch. all you need is:
/bin/smbmnt
/bin/smbmount
/lib/modules/2.4.34-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs

and the diff

[PT-1]

/bin/smbmnt
/bin/smbmount
/lib/modules/2.4.34-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs

So I assume you are building these manually at present?

[new.life]

please try:

Code: Alles auswählen

~ > time cat /proc/kcore > /mnt/filme/test
real    0m 56.44s
user    0m 0.32s
sys     0m 15.38s
~ > time cat /mnt/filme/test > /dev/null
real    1m 1.50s
user    0m 0.14s
sys     0m 7.61s

and replace '/mnt/filme' with your 'mnt/samba'

[nitr8]

/bin/smbmnt
/bin/smbmount
/lib/modules/2.4.34-dbox2/kernel/fs/smbfs

So I assume you are building these manually at present?

correct, i cannot get newmake to work for me. I will try and get it working later on today, maybe ppl on irc can shed some light.

EDIT LINK REMOVED

[nitr8]

Here i have a patch for newmake.
I added the configure option --enable-smbfs. You must enter make depsclean and then start configure with this option.
Please test it. I hope it works!

thanks, patched used --enable-smbfs and did a clean build, however still not smbfs :<

[dbt]

maybe something is still missing??? I'm searching...

[nitr8]

thanks for your help dbt.

todays diffs, with german locals too.

@nitr8
what's about speed comparison SMBFS vs CIFS?

[nitr8]

@new.life

will do this tonight when i get home

will do this tonight when i get home

thank you!

[nitr8]

sorry, I am still at work however i did the test's for you but its over WiFi so its as expected, both CIFS and SMBFS where on the same box.

Renaults are as follows:
[cifs]

[root@lebelo:~]# time cat /proc/kcore > /mnt/cifs/test.cifs
real 11m 11.94s
user 0m 0.13s
sys 0m 8.90s

[root@lebelo:~]# time cat /mnt/cifs/test.cifs > /dev/null
real 1m 48.29s
user 0m 0.13s
sys 0m 15.68s

[smbfs]

[root@lebelo:~]# time cat /proc/kcore > /mnt/smbfs/test.smbfs
real 5m 10.58s
user 0m 0.15s
sys 0m 26.67s
[root@lebelo:~]# time cat /mnt/smbfs/test.smbfs > /dev/null
real 1m 43.76s
user 0m 0.07s
sys 0m 13.05s

and as you can see, same device.

[root@lebelo:~]# df -h

thank you for measurement. Very disappointing for me.
Looks like the same well known write error/transfer breaks if maximum bandwith exeed and not a big difference for reading speed. Maybe good enough for audio but for sure not good enough to record Video.
