If all you want is connect an external HDD (remember to use a powered hub!) and not fiddle with anything, then just download any base img, ssh into the pine64, and follow these instructions (they are for the pi but will work just the same on the pine): http://raspberrywebserver.com/serveradmi...twork.html
Just adjust the parameters for ubuntu or debian ! .... so if you go with debian: smbpasswd -a debian
and in path: path=/home/debian
Thanks Luke, I will give that a try.

But they do not have either sata or esata, so your best attachment to drives are through an usb 2.0 (480Mbit tops) interface, which is shared among all devices (single collision domain).
And that part of it stinks. No getting around it. That makes if at best, a low performing NAS. It will work, and if its performance is adequate, then do build it. Just don't look for sustained performance greater than that 480Mbit usb 2.0 choke point.

Thanks for your input, but I have to try it.
No worries. If you need help with setting it up then you know where to find me :
What tempadave said is of course correct, but unless you really want to transfer huge or many files simultaneously, then I think that the pine does alright as a little backup NAS.
