Moving over my Windows Mystic to Linux Debian, I feel like such a moron over this.. I use a shared folder on my nas for my
file libraries, I have mounted the folder in /media/ I can access the folder with no issues, I edit the file library to
access that folder for the files, when I try to download, it aborts like it can't find the files.. Anyone else doing
something like this that can share some tidbits? I won't lie this is the first time I am pushing the envelope with Debian, I
can do pretty much anything with it, but moving Mystic over is proving to be not so simple..
can you write to the directory as the sbbs user?
sounds like a permissions issue. how are you mounting it? are you using SMB or NFS?
I run mine with all the file base and message base on my nas and i'm
using an NFS share

I am mounting via fstab on bootup, I an access the drives from within Debian with no issues, I can copy and delete etc. Just
not via Mystic yet.. I have set the share so I have full access via my user on that, I am wondering if I should add a user
called mystic and give that user permissions.. As you can see I am not fully proficient with linux, I get around in it..
ok so by the sounds of it you're mounting an SMB share from the nas. you need to make sure you're fstab options include rw,user
also there's options to set it so that it mounts it as a specific user as well...
what OS is sharing the directory? is it a samba share or a windows share?
also make sure you're mounting it as CIFS not SMB
for example, my one VM that mounts a windows share is like this
mount -t cifs -o
credentials=/root/.creds,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0644 //192.168.0.XX/grandchild /mnt
Definitely permissions, I can't write to the directory, I can open up a new directory on the mystic drive and I can upload and download. So
Ijust have to figure out getting the permissions set properly..
Sometimes having user mounts on something like NFS or NAS or some other media is weird, but I think you're on the right track. I was down this road once before and it proved to be enough of a pain in the ass I just grew my on-machine storage instead of dealing with it :P
