Mounting windows shares on linux (part 2)

dbaker · 06-22-2003, 07:45 AM

Hi, there's definitely something wrong with automatically mounting more than one windows share on redhat 9 box. I get it to work once and then when I reboot the kernel stops at Mounting SMB filesystems.

Is there some diagnostic test I can do or log file I can check.

Is redhat 9 buggy in this area? Does auto mounting more than one share work in a previous redhat version? Has anybody got this to work at all?

Thanks,

Darryl

what is your fstab entry? make sure you've not got any numbers at teh end of the line, e.g. "1 2" these are for unix filesystems only, and can screw up other ones.

One entry is:

//server/javashare /win/projects/java smbfs password=**** 0 0

The other:

//server/perlshare /win/projects/perl smbfs password=**** 0 0
