Hi, I'm attempting to use a version 3 smbmount to mount my windows home directory within my linux homedir. The command I'm using is "smbmount //servername/a/aclrk /home/aclrk/smb-home" which fails with: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare SMB Connection failed. Now I know that the share exists - it's mapped to the 'My Documents' icon on my winxp desktop by our central IT dept. So I attempted to use smbclient: "smbclient //servername/a/aclrk" which fails with: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME I can do a "smbclient //servername/a" and it works fine; I can cd into my windows homedir and manipulate files to my heart's content. I guess I want to know if I *should* be able to mount a directory deeper than the 'first level' tree. I'm trying to do this as a test for a linux based desktop and having windows directories appear for our (future) linux users is very important. Additional information: The shares are also available from DFS - accessible via //domainname/ - is there a way to access a domainname DFS share with samba 3? smbclient simply says 'connection to domainname failed' Thanks very much in advance, Anthony Clark
I receive the same error message when attempting to share sub-directories using smb. I would also like to know what I need to do to mount sub-directories to any level on Linux.
