similar to: Can I mount with samba on a read-only system?

This patch was sent to me by Urban Widmark <urban@teststation.com> (thanks Urban!). It allows me to mount remote Win shares to my Linux box automatically. I'm using kernel automounter. The problem was that I have a ro root fs and my /etc/mtab isn't writable (symlinked to /proc/mounts). Patch adds -n and -o nomtab options for smbmount. -o nomtab was particularly useful for me. I

Hi, I'd like to reduce the size of the samba binaries. smbd for instance is about 1.5 meg, which is way to much if you ask me. Is there a way to create smaller binaries, maybe by compiling differently? thanx, Dennis ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

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, 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,

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

Hello all, is there a good wirte-up on how edit script files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory on Centos & to assign multiple IP addresses to the same NIC on boot? Thanks for any and all help. Cheers, Boris.

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've got a SuSE 6.2 Linux server, which now comes with Samba 2.0.5a. I'm having problems with scripts that used to run under 2.0.2. I've tried digging around on newsgroups, the manpages, and the Samba web site and can't seem to find everything I need to do to mount a share (from an NT 4.0 server). When I issue the following: smbmount //server/share -I dest ip -U user%pswd -c

Hi, I have just installed 4.1 on a new Dell Latitude d610. It does not automount the CDs. When I mount the CD manually I get: $mount /media/cdrecorder mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only The CD writer is an Philips IDE: CDRW/DVD-ROM CDD5263 Here is my mtab: $ cat /etc/mtab /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0 none /proc proc rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw

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

Hello-- I'm trying to use extlinux to make a bootable disk image, but I've hit a wall. I've got a partitioned hard disk image with one ext2 partition in it. I've mounted the partition through a block loopback device (/dev/loop1 on the host) and chrooted into it in order to run extlinux. Within the chroot environment, /etc/mtab says: /dev/hda1 / ext2 rw 0 0 ...and within the

So if you have a mount command that doesn''t use /etc/mtab then it will spit out a different device for the mounted device. So say we have SCRATCH_DEV_POOL="/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc" we will turn this into SCRATCH_DEV="/dev/sda" SCRATCH_DEV_POOL="/dev/sdb /dev/sdc" and then when you mkfs this you do _scratch_mkfs $SCRATCH_DEV_POOL which turns into this
