Decided to drop my permanent mounts and go with automount instead. Why? Well I don’t access those folders all the time, they are mainly for backup so mounting only when I need them seemed like a better idea. I modified the /etc/auto.master file and created a new file named /etc/auto.nosebleed. Contents shown below. # auto.master file /mnt/nosebleed /etc/auto.nosebleed -timeout=60 -ghost # auto.nosebleed file mp3 -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/Mp3 ebooks -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/eBooks movies -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/Movies scratch -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/Scratch software -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/Software tv-shows -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/Tv-Shows videos -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,guest ://10.0.0.200/Videos ...

I was playing around with Samba and CIFS mounts last night. I needed to mount a directory on my openSUSE 10.2 box to my samba server where all my mp3 are stored. Since smbfs will be dropped soon I decided to go with CIFS. Note, smbfs will depreciated starting with kernel version 2.6.20. There are 2 ways to mount, examples below. The first method shown below is normally used for temporary mounts. Mounts will be discarded upon reboot or execution of the umount command. ...

Stumbled upon these Suse Linux stickers at kde-look.org. The stickers are the work of anubisg1. They would look pretty cool on my NB and desktop replacing the current Vista and XP stickers. If you like the stickers, they are available at kde-look.org.

I was talking to Wing Loon a few days back about how to bypass all the bandwidth throttling being enforced by our magnificent ISPs here. He recommended to try Deluge as he heard that it managed to bypass the bandwidth throttling. I decided to try it out last night on my openSUSE 10.2 desktop. Install was pretty simple as the rpm was made available through YaST2 by adding the Guru source.
