Mounting a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on a Raspberry Pi (Raspbmc) or other Linux distro

In order to mount a NAS share, you need to have root priviliges. If you're running raspbmc on a raspberry pi and a root account has not been configured (default), you can use:

sudo mkdir /media/nas
sudo vi /etc/fstab

Add the following line:

//www.xxx.yyy.zzz/Share /media/nas cifs vers=3.0,username=guest,password=,uid=1000 0 0

Where www.xxx.yyy.zzz is the ipaddress of your NAS. Save the file and execute the following command:

sudo mount -a
