I am trying to create a samba mount to be mounted automatically on a Redhat 7.2 machine. I can mount the drive from the command line, but would like to have the drive mount on boot. I have added it to /etc/fstab, and get prompted for a password when I run mount on it from the command line. I know it is possible to pass the "password" option, or the "credentials" option to

Hi all, I installed the samba 3.0.3 on a Fedora Core 2 and then samba 3.0.6-1 and still have the following problem. When I mount a smbfs, it sucesses but processes hang when they access the mount point and smbumount returns "Device busy". Since even system halt fails unmounting the filesystem, I have to switch off the machine. I tested either with smbmount command, or /etc/fstab

This patch adds the ability to mount filesystems via an embedded fstab or via the kernel command line. When using the kernel command-line, the following format is required: 'kinit_mount=<fs_name>;<fs_dir>;<fs_type>;<fs_opts>' Multiple mount options can be specified; they are evaluated in the order they appear in the command-line.

Hi; Unable to mount NetApp volume via smbfs on CentOS 6.6 I have been able to mount the NetApp via smbfs from a Mac but cannot from CentOS 6.6 What I have in /etc/auto_smb on the Mac is: /Volumes/build_dir -fstype=smbfs ://domain_name;account_name:password at machine_name/partition_name What is the equivalent on CentOS 6.6? I would be modifying /etc/fstab? I don't see any examples (yet)

I'm mounting a FAT partition on a linux ext3 fs server and I can change the uid and gid of the mount point, but I can't get it to mount it 770 .. it always mounts without group write permission How can I mount it so the group has full permissions to it?

I posted basically this problem yesterday with no response, but I have some new information so here's a rego. I mount a solaris box which is sharing files with pc-netlink I use the following line in my fstab //machinename/Share /mnt/machinename/share smbfs credentials=/etc/fstabpwds/username,ro,user 0 0 And it mounts fine, I can access all the directories, and most of the files. Some

I earlier this week upgraded from Debian woody to sarge on a machine that does a nightly backup to another machine via a samba share. Since then I have had some issues with accessing that share with I believe are a result of the upgrade. I upgraded the kernel at the same time to 2.4.27-1-686 #1 via apt-get, which might be the related to the problem. Smbfs is version 3.0.6-3

I used to mount following share using samba client on RHEL 3.0 without any problems. Then I installed ES4.0 and I started seeing problems with these samba shares. I have following line in fstab to mount the share : //bizgroup/wli1 /wli1 smbfs uid=501,gid=501,credentials=/etc/samba/.smbpassword 0 0 and /etc/samba/.smbpassword contains following username=xxxxxxx

Hi, Need some pointers. Currently using mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Since I can only mount as root, (not in /etc/fstab) sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Problem here is.. I can't get group or world writeable permission on the share. It's a NTFS share but that is not a problem. I can

When I mount the Windows share it works, but only root is allowed write permission in the directory created. How can I allow any user write permission? I have tried everything I could find in the archive, and on google. surely someone has had to do this before? The windows machine is XP, I'm using Fedora Core 4. The entry in fstab is: //$fileServer/$share

Hello, recently I've ran into the problem that if a user mounts a share multiple times, then it cannot be mounted, except by root. Here is the relevant fstab line: //sephiroth/E /home/unity/Sephiroth smbfs ro,users,noauto 0 0 A user can mount and unmount the fs fine: unity@oaklandgardens ~ $ cd ~unity/ unity@oaklandgardens ~ $ mount Sephiroth/ Password: unity@oaklandgardens ~ $ mount |

I have searched for a solution to my problem, and have only found one short discussion which mentioned it (http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Aug2001/msg00364.html), and I didn't feel it contained a resolution I could use. In a nutshell, I want to mount an win2k share as 'guest' at boot time on a linux web server.[1] It just won't work any way that I've tried it. I can

Hi, I recently upgraded an older box running as a file server for a small company to Mandriva (Mandrake) 10.1. It's running Samba 3.0.10.1, the default Mandrake package. We have a custom script that mounts a Windows share using smbfs, backs up specific directories, and unmounts when it's done. The problem is, it's not mounting reliably. There is an entry in /etc/fstab for the

In /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, there's "mount -a -n -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,ncpfs,cifs,gfs,gfs2i,glusterfs -O no_netdev". I have other same type servers. And on other servers with same /etc/fstsb, file system is correct. There's no difference between normal server's rc.sysinit and this problem server's rc.sysinit too. Please tell me other possibility which I have to check.

I have been having problems trying to get my samba mounted windows (XP) shares to mount at boot time on my Redhat 8 machine.

I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine.
