Mount jffs as a share?

[john9527]

Just learning Linux and maybe save me some stumbling around.....

Is it possible to mount jffs as a share so I could access it from the windows environment to play with the configs and scripts instead of having to bring up ssh?

Thanks.

Answering my own question......it's easy....

create a file /jffs/configs/smb.conf.add with the following contents....

[jffs]
comment = RT-AC68R jffs share (or whatever you want)
path = /jffs
available = yes
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes


Reboot or force a restart to smbd....you can now call up windows explorer for the router share and access jffs.....

One other reason to do this....Now I can easily integrate my changes into my backup schedule.

[jffs]
comment = RT-AC68R jffs share (or whatever you want)
path = /jffs
available = yes
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

Personally, I think is a little to insecure. I would suggest something like;

[jffs]
comment = Router's jffs directory
path = /jffs
dos filetimes = yes
fake directory create times = yes
valid users = <userone>,<usertwo>,<routeradmin>
invalid users =
read list = <userone>,<usertwo>,<routeradmin>
write list = <userone>,<usertwo>,<routeradmin>

Userone and usertwo are defined in your GUI samba user list.

Cheers

This thread is so old that I was once in front of someone who I am hopelessly, nearly immeasurably behind now.

@jrmwvu04, wow, like going back to the future (where it all began, for john9527)!

The age of the thread is irrelevant. Some of the best information that I have found have been on older threads. That is why we are all hoarders at heart
