Digikam and NAS don't like each other
Locked
 
|
I am trying to move my digikam album over to a nas drive. The nas is monuted via fstab with the line //192.168.1.250/openshare /media/openshare cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,noauto 0 0 Now I know there is a bug in digikam where it can not set the lock file in sqllite http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=117536777106366&w=2 Now I have tried the work around but I am unable to make the symlink as instructed and I am lead to believe that this is because I can't make a symlink to a cifs file system?? Is there any other alternative way to get digikam albums to run from my nas?? I am using digikam .0.9.5 beta3 Tim _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Hi Tim,
i'm not sure how you have formatted your NAS, but i think it is either VFAT or NTFS. VFAT does not support any sort of links. NTFS do, but this function is very deep hidden in the filesystem and not available via command line (as far as i know). So even if your NAS support this, you need additional support by through cifs, if you plan this. I'm not sure if there is one... So this is an explanation for what you see. Sadly i don't know a work-around for that at the moment. Any other ? Oliver Tim schrieb: > I am trying to move my digikam album over to a nas drive.

Hi Tim,
The workaround in the link you provided also did not work for me, as the file system does not support symbolic links. I store my photos on a windows machine that I mount through fstab in the same way you described. All I did was to create a symbolic link to the mounted folder where the photos are in the folder where the digikam database is. The digikam database needs to be on your local machine (say ~/Pictures). In that same location I then create a symbolic link to the folder on the mounted filesystem where the photo files are stored. When digikam next opens, it will have a new album that has the same name as your symbolic link, with sub-albums according to the folder structure on your shared drive. I've used it this way until I recented upgraded to the new version, I hope this can work for you too.

ext3 does support links. So it's only a problem of the cifs protocol that you use accessing it. Does your NAS support other protocols too? ext3 means that your NAS runs some kind of Linux/Unix on it and that could make it possible that NFS is also supported. What you also could try is to mount your NAS directly inside your local folders. Something like telling digikam to use some folder like /pictures and than attach your NAS //192.168.1.250/openshare /pictures/openshare cifs guest,uid=1000,gid=100,rw,noauto 0 0 Doing so would digikam force to store the database inside the file /pictures/digikam3.db and you should be able to access all your pictures as subfolder of the album openshare Oliver Tim schrieb: On Wednesday 25 March 2009 06:08:55 Oliver Dörr wrote: Hi Oliver My Nas is running ext3, the NAS OS is busy box although there are no options to change the file system or the preset share (that what you get for buying on impulse....but it was quite cheap) Tim _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
