smbfs on Slak8.0 2.2.19 kernel

Dr.Swing · 10-22-2002, 05:24 AM

I'm try to mount a windowsnt share on the above system, but get the following error "smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel". I 've done a standard install of Slack8.0 with the 2.2.19 kernel. When I do a "cat /proc/filesystems" I don't see smbfs listed. Does this mean I have to recopile the kernel or might I have to enable something somewhere.

Tanks

OK.........maybe a little more info needed.

My network is up and running fine, I can ping the nt box, Samba is loaded and I 'm using this command to mount the nt share
"mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //servername/sharename /mnt

Whoo Hooh, got it working. And just for the record, here's how....

My smbfs is installed as a module by default, so I had to enable it. I did that by running a few commands like smbd and nmbd and modprobe smbfs.

I would like to set it to run at startup though but I'm confused as to which files to edit......it says in the HOWTO to edit the startup script located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb but Slak8.0 don't have an init.d folder???

Try using the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. Just put your commands in there that you want load in the order desired. It runs as the last operation performed by init. Your networking and everything should be setup by that time.

Tanks Excalibur, works a treat, now I can start experimenting.
