mounting network samba drive using cifs in /etc/rc.local file
I have a samba server (CENTOS 5.3). The server has a share called "export_name." For the purpose of this question, the share has no password.
I want to mount "export_name" automatically when I boot on a client (UBUNTU 9.4). The mountpoint is called "/home/my_local_user_name/export_name." I have added this single line to the /etc/rc.local file on the UBUNTU client, saved it, and set the executable bit (chmod + /etc/rc.local). The line is as follows: mount -o username=user //192.xxx.xxx.xxx/export_name /home/my_local_user_name/export_name This rc.local file does not work on boot but works only when I open a terminal and type: sudo sh /etc/rc.local |
Why not add it to you /etc/fstab file?
Code:
//remoteserver/share /mnt/share smbfs auto,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=user,gid=user,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0 |
Thanks for your reply.
SMBFS has been depreciated and is no longer included in Ubuntu. If smbfs is necessary, you have to compile it from source, or use a version of Ubuntu earlier than Hardy (not recommended). |
