I would like to connect it to the port provided on an ASUS router which will replace the one in service now. It appears that accomplishing that requires that the drive contain a samba share? This is an FC32 system using xfce, I dnf installed Samba. What do I need to do to make the external drive accessible as a samba share if that is what it requires? My effort with google has not helped ... You want to connect the drive to an ASUS router. Make/Model may be useful. Anyway, the ASUS router will then act as the samba-server and you share the drive using the GUI of the ASUS. You F32 system is the client. You should then be able to use mount in much the same way as you would for nfs using cifs as the file system type. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
