| − | | |
| − | The <b>Network Shares</b> section is used to manage Network-attached storage (NAS) such as USB drives, SD cards and hard drives. The router supports the following file system architectures:
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li><b>FAT32</b><span class="asterisk">*</span></li>
| |
| − | <li><b>NTFS</b><span class="asterisk">**</span></li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − | <span class="asterisk">*</span> supports SD cards with a capacity of up to <b>32 GB</b><br>
| |
| − | <span class="asterisk">**</span> NTFS support available from FW version <b>RUT9XX_R_00.05.02</b> and newer
| |

| − | ===Mounted File Systems===
| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | The <b>Mounted File Systems</b> tab displays information on mounted USB drives and SD cards. To view an attached drive, connect it to the router and click the Refresh button:

| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li><b>/dev</b> - the directory of device files. Everything in the Linux filesystem is either a file or a directory; /dev is the location of device files. Every device is represented by a file in the /dev directory</li>

| |
| − | </ul>So the full string <b>/dev/sda1</b> denotes the first partition of the first block device<br><span class="asterisk">*</span> SD cards will be identified as MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices and the identifier will begin with the <b>mmcblk</b> string instead of sd

| − | ====SSH commands====
| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | Devices can be mounted or unmounted manually by using SSH commands.
| |
| − | =====Mounting=====
| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | The <b>mount</b> command attaches a filesystem to the file hierarchy. The basic syntax for the command is:
| |
| − | | |
| − | mount -t type device dir
| |
| − | | |
| − | Where:
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li><b>-t</b> - the filesystem type. If this value is omitted, the command will try to determine the type automatically</li>
| |
| − | <li><b>device</b> - file name of the device. Refer to section [[RUT955_USB_Tools#Mounted_File_Systems|2.1]] for examples</li>
| |
| − | <li><b>dir</b> - directory that will be used as the mount point for the device. Refer to section [[RUT955_USB_Tools#Mounted_File_Systems|2.1]] for examples</li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Example command</b>:
| |
| − | | |
| − | mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Unmounting=====
| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | The <b>umount</b> command detaches filesystem from the file hierarchy. he basic syntax for the command is:
| |
| − | | |
| − | umount device
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Example command</b>:
| |
| − | | |
| − | umount /dev/sda1
| |
| − | | |
| − | Using the umount command is analogous to clicking the "Safely Remove Disk" button. Therefore, the attached drive can be safely disconnected after using umount to detach it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Samba===
| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | <b>Samba</b> is a software solution for using the Server Message Block (SMB) networking protocol, which provides shared file access between nodes on a computer network. The Samba tab in RUT955's WebUI is used to configure network access (look to section [[RUT955_USB_Tools#Shared_Directories|2.2.1]] for details) to storage devices connected to the router's MicroSD slot or USB connector.

| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | The <b>Shared Directories</b> section is used to configure access to connected storage drives or individual directories contained in those drives. A shared directory must be added before it can be configured:
