Mounting smb folder with Fedora Core 5?

FLX · 06-12-2006, 04:36 AM

Hello,

I run Fedora Core 5 (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5) and i try to mount a folder shared by a windows box on my network.
Alot of ppl sya i should go with mount -t cifs, but i get this:

[root@localhost mp3]# mount -t cifs //skybyte/E/Tunes /mp3/flx
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name skybyte/E/Tunes not found
No ip address specified and hostname not found

What can be the problem? could it be that it wont respond due to a different workgroup? how to setup the workgroup @ fedora?

Or do i have a other problem?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

FLX

Why don't you try with the IP adress ?!?

FLX · 06-12-2006, 09:48 AM

i do this:

[root@localhost ~]# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.77/E/Tunes /mp3/flx
Password:
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[root@localhost ~]#

on the windows box i use the Guest account with as pass "treeform"

this what happens with mount.cifs:

[root@localhost ~]# mount.cifs //192.168.1.77/E/Tunes /mp3/flx
Password: treeform
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[root@localhost ~]#

mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.77/E/Tunes /mp3/flx

try this way

FLX · 06-13-2006, 04:31 AM

[root@localhost ~]# mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.77/E/Tunes /mp3/flx
mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'

i think smbfs has been cancelled out of the last release

use this way

Code:

# /sbin/mount.cifs //192.168.1.77/E/Tunes /mp3/flx -o user=<usernamae>,pass=<password>

work for my fc5 this way only

make more dificult actually

[root@net rou]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 8.6G 3.1G 5.1G 38% /
tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm

//192.168.0.11/Rou 111G 101G 9.9G 92% /export/mnt/noc

FLX · 06-13-2006, 07:02 AM

made a change in ip address:

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/mount.cifs //192.168.1.67/E/Tunes /mp3/flx -o user=Guest,pass=smb
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

it can find the ip tho:

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# ping 192.168.1.67
PING 192.168.1.67 (192.168.1.67) 56(84) bytes of data.

also tried with ip arg:

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/mount.cifs //192.168.67/E/Tunes /mp3/flx -o user=Guest,pass=smb,ip=192.168.1.67
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

user=Guest,pass=smb <- dont use this

is that user Guest is the user in the server ?
use user which is u added in the server

look at /etc/passwd

I have several questions on using CIFS.
1. Can it go in the /etc/fstab to bring Windows Shares on line at boot?
2. What does the syntax look like? I have seen several suggestions.
3. Does it work on FC5, Sun 5.10, and Gentoo SPARC 64?

I have had little success.
Thank You

FLX , i have look arround this issue but i couldnt test it ( no windows in my office )

so i found this for you to test

Code:

mount -t cifs -o username=Guest //192.168.1.67/E/Tunes /mp3/flx

if ask the pass then u enter it

------------

Armor u are hijacking :P

btw do not set auto mount on network drive regardles windows or linux , do it by hand ( manual)

No, I thought I was asking similar questions.
It won't happen again. I usually get in trouble for posting an already asked question.
I give up.

Password:
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address

My REpLY...

Myself... I'm moving back to RHL9, CIFS is pahoo and cannot recoginse 'named computers', plus it's security settings top it off as a pain in the Ar** (not allowing access as read/write for the user you set for windows)! GRrr... not liking MS myself, I find it hard that, my next project is written in ASP cos I cannie be bothered to setup my FED CORE box!!!!
