Mates, I have set up a backup scheme that uses rsync to backup shares from my mdk 7.2 box to an old ibm box that is running win95. Basically I use "smbmount //backup/d /mnt/backup -o password=" to mount the ibm's d:/ as /mnt/backup. How can I test to see if the drive is still mounted without using another smbmount call prior to starting the rsync backup. smbmount works for this,

I have a problem. When I mount my CD (witch is on WIN97 machine) using smbmount I do not see all files in all dirs. If dir have more then, let say, 100 files (it is not the same every time), I do not see all files. This is a problem because on my Linux box I do not have CD-ROM, so if I have to install some packages I first have to copy rpm files on disk, and then install them witch is annoying.

I am having some problems when I have a Win95 share mounted using smbmount. In some directories not all the directory entries are showing up for an ls. I can traverse the directories if I know what they are. I am running Debian Linux 2.0(libc6) with kernel 2.0.34 and samba 1.9.18p8. I have smbfs and the win95 bug workaround compiled into the kernel. Is there a solution to this? Also, I am

Hi all, I hope someone might be able to offer me some advice. I have a NAS box, a QNAP TS-109 which runs a version of Debian Linux. It has a local ext3 drive, and I also smbmount a network drive on it (a Lacie ED mini which I have tried formatted as both ext3 and FAT32 without solving my problems). My problem is that I am unable to correctly rsync files with accented characters in the names

hi*& Samba has troubles with joining to NT PDC, that has some scope id because: 1. smbpasswd does not know anything about scope id and you haven't any chance to join into NT PDC. 2. also many utils like smbmount doesn't know scope id 3. In smbclient you can specify scope id, but you should remember it and etc. It's not so usable. I'm asked about these problems in samba

Hi I'm having a small problem identifying why one of our Windows 95 machines shows 0% Capacity when mounted using smbmount. In fact, all other Windows machines show the correct value, but this one machine doesn't. eg: # smbmount //win95/dev /mnt/win95/dev -c linux -U user -P password # df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on ... //win95/dev 2096832

I have a Windows Server 2003 system I'm trying to back up to a Linux host. when I access the share with smbclient, I can "see" the files (`ls` returns a list of files, etc) smbclient -U shareuser //server/sharename password But, when I try to actually mount the drive, I get "permission denied" errors trying to access the drive. (EG: using `df`) Running the following

Hello, I have a Zip drive on my Windows machine, shared to the network. I can get to the drive through smbclient, but would like to mount it to my main Linux box to do backups. The Zip drive is known as \\mark\d to the network, and I would like to mount it to /mnt/zip However, smbmount is not able to mount it, nor am I able to mount it via smbclient. Anyone have this already working?

This has been asked before but the answers haven't worked for me.I upgraded from 2.2.7 to 3.0.0. I used to connect to Windows sharesusing smbmnt in .bash_profile as a non-root user having chmod 4755smbmnt. Now this doesn't work: - smbmount won't let non-root users run it (even after a chmod) - smbmnt says "Failed to find real path for mount point" - mount -t smbfs says

Hi all, In my effort to get RCS archive access via smbmount, I stumbled across another interesting bit of behaviour with smbmount that could be playing a part - but does not involve RCS. Normally, under Linux - or any Unix - the following sequence of commands works: [cpratt@cpratt-desk2 ~/dud]$ ls -la total 3 drwxr-xr-x 2 cpratt users 1024 May 12 18:09 . drwx------ 32 cpratt users

How can i use a dat tape on another remote LM9 machine. Using tar and keeping the original ownership/permissions. or smbmount to the machine with the files on and again keeping the original ownership/permissions. Many Thanks Ken

I am trying to connect with smbmount to a VAX/VMS system running, I believe, PathWorks.

Hi all, I've been trying to get an answer to this question for a long time and in a lot of different places, but no luck. Basically I want to mount an XP volume on my Linux machine at boot time over Samba. The network is just an XP box and a Linux box, connected by a crossover cable. The XP box is a gateway to the net (don't ask), with two NICs, one internal, and one going to the

I am using a Samba server on a RedHat 5.2 box this box has no tape drive I would like to back up my network clients to a tape drive on one of the win boxes; Is the following feasible; mount the windows shares using smbmount tar up the dirs/files transfer the tar files onto the win machine Back up using the win machines backup programme If not any other suggestions? Please cc me in reply Regards,

OK let’s start out with this. I’m not a pro GUI designer… ? Now that that’s done. Welcome to OpenConf. At least that what we call it now. To config an * file click on the filename to the left. For my example use extension.conf. Now you’ll have a FULL text editor and a parsed list of all the [sections] in the extensions.conf file on your left. On the right you will find any numbered var’s

Greetings. A straight-out-of-the-cd Slackware 9. A straight-out-of-the-tar Samba 3.0.0. # cd source # ./configure --with-automount --with-smbmount (...configure ran...) # make (...make ran...) # du ... What?? The bin/ directory amounted to over 400 MB! smbd over 24 MB, when the 2.3.x one I have is 1.7 MB? I presumed it erroneously linked all the libraries as static. So I did: # ./configure

Hello, I have a few ideas about how to make my Linux server mount up a shared folder on a Windows machine at boot time, however I would like to know if there are other methods of getting it to work. I have considered building a startup script with a high number to have the system smbmount the shared drive like a service, in case of a power outage. I believe that would be considered

Hello, I have a slow (386DX40/16RAM) computer running win95. I have selected the C and D drive to be shareable. When I smbmount the drive, I can cd into it and access it, all is fine. But most of the time, doing ``ls'' in a directory with large number of entries it only shows (out of 100 entries) only about 25. I can cd into a subdir even though it is not listed, but e.g. ``find

Hi all, I'm just wondering why smbmount allows the same mount point to mount several times the same share while a normal mount operation (with a non-smbfs) returns a busy mount point error. [luca@fluca:~]$ mount ... //server/sys on /mnt/target type smbfs (rw) [luca@fluca:~]$ smbmount //server/sys /mnt/target/ -o ip=192.168.4.1,guest [luca@fluca:~]$ mount ... //server/sys on /mnt/target type
