Trying to mount USB drive of RPi A into RPi B
by suziecat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PZSM)
Hello,
I have TWO Rpi's.
RPI A (192.168.1.xx) is a file server (PLEX) to which are attached TWO USB drives (sda and sdb)
RPi B (192.168.1.yy) should be a openvpn torrenting server.
For that, I want RPi B to mount one of the RPi A drives so downloaded files would be stored directly onto the file server.
I searched the web and found a fstab edit requiring to add this kind of line :
"Rpi A ip /drive location" "RPi B /mounting point" cifs "parameters"
So I did THAT : //192.168.1.xx/dev/sdb/home/shares/public/disk2/sharedrasp/downloads /home/pi/mytorrents cifs workgroup=WORKGROUP,users,auto 0 0
sudo mount -a
Unsurprisingly, I get a BAD NETWORK NAME, "no such file..."
I guess I don't give the proper location for the source files.
Can someone help me solve this trivial issue but an Everest for the noob I am.
Many thanks in advance.
