Mounting Raspberry Pi to Dreambox 5620s

[adam watson]

I've got a Raspberry Pi running Arch linux and Samba with an external drive. I have managed to map the drive to a Windows PC but I can't get it to mount to my Dreambox. The Dreambox is a 5620s running Pli image from a few days ago. I've tried using the web interface, through the menus and via the command line.
Is there a log file somewhere so I can get an idea of why its failing?
Can anyone give me an idiots guide as what to put in the fields on the web interface I'm not sure of the server path?

Any help would be great

How is the hard drive connected to the Pi? Is by USB or is it over the network?

Sorry, have to leave this to the DB experts.

note: I have no experience with either the Dreambox or the Raspberry.
but: samba keeps its logs in something like /var/log/samba . Check for this on the Raspberry. Can you ping the raspberry from the dreambox? Presumably the dreambox has a samba client. Can you run smbclient -L address_of_raspberry from it?

Just for info - what name is the drive known as to the Pi?

£18.50 on eBay so I couldn't resist. Pli are still releasing daily builds of images

I can ping from box to pi and pi to box. I'll try smbclient and report back. The drive seems to be sda1 to the pi

Thanks

Comparing the results of that with

net view \\name_of_raspberry

could be useful.
