Hello,
I -almost- gracely installed samba-1.9.18p3 on my
> Linux maya 2.0.33 #4 Tue Mar 17 17:25:36 CET 1998 i586 unknown
and it works fine. I did not managed to compile smbmount.c and smbumount.c
that comes with this distribution, so that I had to install those with
smbfs-2.0.2 .
Question 1: how can I compile the smbmount.c and smbumount.c that comes
with the samba distribution ?
Question 2:
From the mount manual:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-t vfstype
The argument following the -t is used to indicate
the file system type. The file system types which
are currently supported are listed in
linux/fs/filesystems.c: minix, ext, ext2, xiafs,
hpfs, msdos, umsdos, vfat, proc, nfs, iso9660,
smbfs, ncpfs, affs, ufs, romfs, sysv, xenix, coher-
------
^^^^^^
ent. Note that the last three are equivalent and
that xenix and coherent will be removed at some
point in the future -- use sysv instead. Since ker-
nel version 2.1.21 the types ext and xiafs do not
exist anymore.
Mount options for smbfs
Just like nfs, the smb implementation expects a binary
argument (a struct smb_mount_data) to the mount system
call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and the
current version of mount (2.6c) does not know anything
about smb.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Do You know about any improvement on this ?
Question 3: In my /etc/fstab I would like to write something like
> /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 1 1
> /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
> /dev/hda2 /home ext2 defaults 1 1
> //bianconiglio/c /mnt/bianconiglio/c smbfs defaults 1 1
> //bianconiglio/d /mnt/bianconiglio/d smbfs defaults 1 1
> none /proc proc defaults 1 1
in order to automatically mount (and umount) remotes.
The point is, of course, remotes may not be connected at boot time...
Thank You.
