Mounting a windows share. Please help, totally lost.
I dunno, it's as if Slack 11 doesn't have smbfs or something. Every time I try to mount the share it gives me :
Code:
root@diabolical:/mnt# mount -t smbfs -o \\192.168.1.65\D /mnt/verdelet Please show me how to mount a Windows share by both command line and by fstab on Slack 11. |
double up your slashes or use forward slashes instead:
\\\\server\\share //server/share |
Quote:
Code:
mount -t smbfs -o username=<user>,password=<passwd>,rw //<IP_address>/<share> /mnt/<mount_point> |
Hey, it worked like a charm! Thanks guys!
|
Next stop, look up how to automount this in fstab. Any hints before I start digging?
|
Already got it, thanks anyways. For some reason I need to input the root password on boot to get it to connect, but I'm fine with that.
|
Just a suggestion, but you may want to look into using a credentials file and just have a pointer to it in your fstab. That way you don't have to have your root password in a world readable file like fstab.
