Having difficulty mounting RT-N66U attached USB drive to Ubuntu Server 13.10 - ???

[BobMCT]

I've been using this Merlin firmware versioned router for some time now and it performs wonderfully (Thank you Merlin).

I have a 1TB drive connected via USB to this router and I'm able to store my backups on that drive from my Windoze machines. However, I'm now trying to mount this drive onto my Ubuntu Server 13.10 machine and I'm not having any luck.

I thought someone here should be doing this so I'm hoping someone who has can post what entries they used to mount (cli or fstab) successfully.

Any suggestions/help?

Thanks all

Hi

Use NFS to mount the disk to your server. That is possible with the Merlin firmware.
Regarding fstab you can see an example in the following guide.

Good luck!
