Try to change smbfs to cifs

smbfs provides cifs support in Linux

Code:

root@iMedia:~# aptitude show smbfs

Description: Samba file system utilities
Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing
support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS
X, and other Unix systems.

You sure you got that right?

since xbmc uses whatever your linux smb client whciever your linux provides, one cant be without the other in this case.

so I think line would be

Code:

sudo aptitude install smbfs --with-recommends -y

Thats how XCI works, and it works, however NFS should be supported natively from XBMC Linux (insert distro here) SInce NFS in LINUX is WAY better IMO then SMB.

I was just going to ask if i can use NFS instead. I tried to get it to work and it would error out saying that it couldnt connect.

My freenas box already have NFS shares and i hear that NFS is better then SMB so i wanted to try that instead.
