So I've been able to use this little LinNeighborhood app to mount my windows shares, but when i reboot they're no longer mounted. (Wouldn't it be logical just to keep them mounted? I mean usually if you mount something once, you want it to stay mounted, yes?)

So how do i get them to mount all the time so i don't have to go through all this every time I reboot.

Thanks.

IM me if you want.

search this site for "fstab smb" should give you plenty to get on with

You could use automount, i've never used it but if you type "man automount" you should get some information on how to use it.

To mount and keep the mount you need to do the following.
Open your terminal editor and login as root.
Go to /mnt and create a folder ie. winxp. mkdir winxp
Change dir to /etc
Open fstab with favorite editor .. example 'vi' or 'kate'
add the following line

/dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs ro,users,exec,uid=500,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

then save
(if you have more than one drive say d:\ repeat process but change to hda2)
test your work. in terminal go to /mnt/winxp then do a ls
or go to your file manager and /mnt/winxp your window files should show up if the procedure was worked. only thing that can go wrong is the hda? not sure how you set yours up. (Or if you are using fat or fat32 change the ntfs to fat or fats32. ) I did not test this as I have only NTFS partitions.
If all goes well and you have the set up correct the partitions will be mounted when you boot.
the security level can be changed with the uid=?

Regards

thx a lot, now my fat32 partition is mouting each time a log in, but i have a question, why they always said to me that its read only.. where can i change this???

thx

Add umask=0 option to your /etc/fstab entry.

at the end of the line to mount my partition, or in a new line!?

ill try it tonight, cuse now im at work

end of the line

thx a lot, ill try it tonight when ill eb at home, and give you feedback , thx

didnt work, still given me the read only error

Just change the ro to rw on the line from MaxPluto's reply.

FYI, the uid=500 might need to also be changed. When you do a
ls -nl in your home directory, it shows you ids instead of the user and group.

i.e.,

taylork@canopus /home/guest 385 > ls -nl
total 0
drwx------ 2 501 100 48 2002-12-09 22:25 cur/
drwx------ 2 501 100 48 2002-12-09 22:25 new/
drwx------ 2 501 100 48 2002-12-09 22:25 tmp/

so it would be uid=501 in this case.

ok thx a lot, ill give a try tonight when ill be at home, i have the "joy" to work on windows at work, lol

thx, ill give you feedback tonight

coool that work man, i changed the ro to rw, so stupid when you know this
hehe

thx a lot
