similar to: smbmount syntax for 2.0.5a

I posted a previous thread about using smbmount, but I am still having some problems, using samba version 2.0.5a on SuSE 6.2. I issue the statement: smbmount //NTServer/share /mnt/test -Iaddress -Uid%pswd Afterwards, if I go to the mount directory, i.e. 'cd /mnt' and issue the command 'ls -l' I get an error message 'ls: test: Input/output error'. After that, the mount

I'm using Samba 2.0.6 on a Linux server. When using smbmount or mount to mount a share from an NT server, how do I set file permissions. An older smbmount allowed a -d and -f switch to set the file permissions. The newest one does not support these. The man pages for smbmount and smbmnt mention using syntax that does not work. I finally have gotten the mount command to work, but now I

I've got a win98 laptop and a linux box. On my linux box, I smbmount a directory from the laptop. Alas, win98 boxes crash a lot, and I move the laptop a lot... to and from work. If the laptop crashes or if I move it with a shared directory mounted on my linux box, that mount gets "Stuck".... it's present in /etc/mtab but when I cd to it and do an ls it says: 243 emily ~>ls

Hi, I'm trying to mount with smbmount on a read-only system. I have a writable /tmp and /var dir, so it car wirte logs. The samba daemons are running fine, but when doing smbmount I get the following error: can't lock /etc/mtab~ file This is correct, because mtab is read-only. I tried to create a link (ln -sf) from /etc/mtab to /tmp/mtab (and /etc/mtab~ to /tmp/mtab~) but this

Hi, I'm trying to run smbmount on a machine with the root filesystem mounted as read only (it is a little embedded Linux PC which I want to pick up some files from its controlling NT box). The problem is that smbmnt doesn't appear to support the -n flag that normal mount supports which avoids accessing /etc/mtab. Can any one suggest any solutions to this ? Dave

I have become quite confused about the interaction of the kernel versions and the different versions of Samba and smbmount. I have just upgraded to a 2.2 kernel. 'make menuconfig' gave no choice by which to enable the Win95 bug workaround. At the same time, smbmount 2.0.5a, which seems to be the proper one for a 2.2 kernel (it's the latest provided by Debian, under the name

Hi all, I am running SuSE 6.2 on a machine with 2 processors, so I just recompiled the kernel to pick up the second cpu. I now have problems using smbmount (2.0.5a that came with distrubution) or using the newer mount syntax (I just installed 2.0.6) to mount a share from an NT 4.0 server. After issuing the smbmount/mount command, and then going to the mount point, I get i/o errors on the

i built my own login system, but unfortunately, i am having problems (ie, can''t really figure out how) to redirect a person back to the page he was requesting before logging in...say, as the admin i want to edit a certain message/logo, whatever, so i click on it, and i get redirected to my login page. after the admin logs in, he gets redirected to the homepage - i couldn''t

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time. I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but this did not work. Here is the mtab entry: //DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0 Barry

Hi, Since i upgraded to Linux Redhat 9.0 / samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 / kernel 2.4.20-9 i have the following problem: # smbmount //amd/Films /mnt/disk -o username=jan,password=XXXXXX # In 50% of the times i do this command it mounts the share and goes into daemon mode and ps -aux shows one process smbmount. All ok. However in the other 50% the command just hangs. If i open a new window it did do

Hi, I'm new the syslinux and found some bug. For example, when I install a boot file system into /mnt/boot during usb booted system, the extlinux reports the following error. /usr/bin/extlinux -i /mnt/boot /mnt/boot is device proc /usr/bin/extlinux: cannot open device proc But /mnt/boot is mounted on /dev/sda1 and ext3 file system. I read the source code and found the following code in

Hello , I use kernel 2.4.7 patched with corresponding ext3 patch. The problem I have is that when I startup I get a panic in a kernel. I started to debug util-linux and found that mount does a segmentation fault when trying to open /etc/mtab file. The segmentation fault ocurrs on open() call inside mtab_is_writable() procedure: printf("mtab_writable: pass 1\n"); if (ret ==

I have written a function to emulate minitab's QQ plotting output (with SW test and AD test results on the graph): mtab.norm<-function(x) { library(nortest) library(lattice) x<-as.numeric(x) x<-as.vector(x) plot.ht<-4.6 plot.wd<-4.6 pt.ht=plot.ht/5 txt.sz<-(plot.ht/7.5) X11(width=plot.wd, height=plot.ht, bg='gray96') qqplot(x, pch=16, cex=pt.ht,

Hello, I have the following in /etc/samba/smbfstab; //msserver/share /mnt/smb-share cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,credentials=/etc/cifsusers/admin,rw However, when using 'mount /mnt/smb_dir' I get; mount: can't find /mnt/smb_dir in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Using 'mount -a' doesn't mount either. If I use "smbmount /mnt/smb_dir" I get; Could not

Dear Ted, I upgraded e2fsprogs and util-linux to the latest versions, as per the instructions on the "ext3 for 2.4" page, to make the switching between ext2-only and ext3-enabled kernels seamless. Now that if the filesystems have not been unmounted cleanly, due to a power failure for example, "fsck -A -a" cannot continue after checking the root filesystem on reboot, issuing

I have cross-compiled smbmount(smbmnt, smbclient) using samba-3.0.24.tar.gz, then ported them to an ARM Arch machine whose /etc directory is read only. The smbmount command always results in errors """Can't get /etc/mtab~ lock filesmbmnt failed: 1""" Someone says that If we rebuild samba with the smbmount-nomtab.patch and smbmount-mtab-flags.patch, it would work

Hi, The new smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.5a doesn't seem to recognize the '-P' command line option. This means that I cannot automatically mount shares from a script, as I need to manually enter the password for each mount. This used to work with the older smbmount, and also with the newer 'smbmount -c ...'. Is this (passing a password on the command line) not supported

Can anyone help me? I have Samba 2.0.5a running on SuSE Linux 6.0 (2.0.36) and Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4 (PDC). When I try to do a "smbclient -L MYUNIX" (according to the trouble shooting guide) I get the following message: Addes interface ip=195.90.254.xxx bcast=195.90.254.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[MYDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.5a] tree connect failed: ERRSRV

Howdy all: I'm trying to use smbmount to mount a win9x share and copy some files for backup, eventually to run as a script invoked via cron. I have RH6.1/samba 2.0.5a, and the windoze box is win95b. If I do the standard mount (smbmount //winbox/backup /mnt/smb04) I have to be root. Also, after it's mounted, I can't create any files there as a normal user (even though the
