Hi,
Have seen many posts on mounting a local windows drive on startup. What we are looking to do, if possible, is mount a windows partition on a network server so that we can read/write to it (for backup). Want to do this on startup. If the network is called MYNET and the server is MYSERVER and the volume is MYVOLUME
how would you do this ?
Since this is a RH3 server running oracle 9i, and the user is ORACLE would you create a vfat volume or could this be done with samba ?
Any ideas greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Steve.

just add a line to your fstab. Something like
//your/server/shared_folder /mnt/where/you/want/it smbfs rw,uid=your_user,gid=your_group 0 0

Note that when you troubleshoot your new fstab entry, you do NOT have to reboot the machine just to try it out. The basic steps you want to do are:

su (login as root at a terminal prompt)
cd /mnt
mkdir sharename (make the mount point)
vi /etc/fstab (edit your fstab and make the new entry)
mount sharename (try it out--it probably won't work the first try)
vi /etc/fstab (figure out something you did wrong and change it)
mount sharename (I bet it didn't work this time either)
...repeat...

If you successfully mount, but find that the settings aren't to your satisfaction (e.g. it mounts read only), then use this command to unmount it:

umount sharename

Thank you for your replies. Was only interested in mounting a NETWORK partition. A usefull faq to accomplish this was on http://www.justlinux.com. Best Regards.
