Make a Linux image file, format it ext2, store it on the NAS and mount it locally. It has been a long time since I have done this but the syntax would look a bit like this. Change the count size to meet your needs.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/NAS_SERVER/linux.img bs=4096 count=100000 mkfs.ext2 /mnt/NAS_SERVER/linux.img mkdir /mnt/NAS_LINUX mount -o loop /mnt/NAS_SERVER/linux.img /mnt/NAS_LINUX On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 9:50 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > In a "oh shiny!" moment I pickup a NAS, which is a little limited. > > Despite the 'Linux Support' claims, I find the lack of user/group > permissions the biggest problem.
