samba - Mar 2004 - mount subdirectories from a Windows 2000 share

Hello list,

is it possible to mount directly subdirectories from a Windows2000 share with
smbmnt,
like  mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx  \\\\server\\share\\subdir  /mnt ?

Hello,

I don't know if it is possible to do that !

The easy way I find to do that is :

1. Mount all my windows shares in a particular folder ... "/mnt" for
example, using a particular subfoldername (created manually) like
"/mnt/ServerName_ShareName" . I mount my windows shares with a script
named
"MySmbMount" reading configuration informations from a text file named
"MySmbMount.conf". I can use this script by typing "MySmbMount
start" for
mounting shares and "MySmbMount stop" for unmounting shares ... You
can of
course include it in "/etc/init.d" for commodidity at reboot time.

2. Define "symbolic names" (ln -s) for all my applications at the
rigth
place ("/ApplicationName/MyFolder/subfolder-of-a-window-share"). I do
that
with a script named "MySymbolicNames" running on demand and reading
configuration informations from a text file named
"MySymbolicNames.conf". I
can use this script by typing "MySymbolicNames start" for creating
symbolic
names and "MySymbolicNames stop" for deleting symbolix names ...

With two shell scripts and two text configuration files, it's really easy to
do that.

I hope this answer can help you.
