not able to permanently mount samba share on linux
my samba server is working properly but i want to mount it permanently on linux (red hat) client.i have tried /etc/fstab and also autofs service but both are not working for me.
1. /etc/fstab i made the following entry in it //192.168.0.254/myshare /temp smbfs credentials=/root/pass 0 0 and when i use comman mount -a it shows "unknown filesystem smbfs" why this is so? 2. using autofs my auto.master file is shown below # # $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $ # # Sample auto.master file # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # For details of the format look at autofs(5). # misc /etc/auto.misc /net -hosts # # Include central master map if it can be found using # nsswitch sources. # # Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as # above) in the included master map any keys that are the # same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes # precedence. # +auto.master /rhome /etc/auto.misc ~ ~ "/etc/auto.master" 21L, 587C my auto.misc file is shown below # # $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 2003/09/29 08:22:35 raven Exp $ # # This is an automounter map and it has the following format # key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location # Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom # the following entries are samples to pique your imagination #linux -ro,soft,intr ftp.example.org:/pub/linux #boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1 #floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0 #floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0 #e2floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0 #jaz -fstype=ext2 :/dev/sdc1 #removable -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdd nis1 -rw,soft,intr 192.168.0.254:/rhome/nis1 samba -fstype=smbfs,username=vinita,password=redhat ://192.168.0.254/myshare please tell me where i am wrong? |
You use cifs to mount samba shares, not smbfs.

thax alot
it works. |
i have mounted successfully using autofs.but i umount it using command umount.cifs /misc/samba now how to remount it?
|
mount -a
|
if you mounted using autofs, then to remount it, just try and reaccess the share - `cd /misc/samba`
