mount network ntfs drive
ok, i have read and searched for this but usually topics covering mounting of ntfs partitions assume the partition is in the same computer (/dev/hdx) but what i need to do is mount an external usb drive connected to my winxp box through my local network. i have samba setup and i can go to smb://desktop/share and have read/write access to it, but i want to mount it either in fstab or via rc.local
i have this in rc.local and it does mount it but i dont have r/w to it Code:
mount -t smbfs //desktop/share /mnt/share/ -o lfs,rw,username=guest i have also installed fuse and ntfs-3g without success either (i get failed to access //desktop/share no such file or directory) how is it when i browse with konqueror i have r/w but if i try to mount i dont and how do i get r/w through mounting? what i would like to have is a mount in my /home dir where i can r/w files and use them as if they were on my slack box thanks |
did you get any errors?
and, if you did get errors, why do you not post these? :confused: i'm using this, with my own username, and it works for me: Quote:

I don't see anything wrong with your fstab entry. Have you looked at the windoze share properties? Is it set read only" or read write?
You didn't say what flavour of windbloze you are using. If it is XP home, you have to enable the guest account, it is not there by default. You could also try your own user, and password to see if that makes a difference. Here is a link to a tutorial, for you or anyone else needing help with this type of problem. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-netw...in-ubuntu.html Hope this helps. |
ok, this worked
Code:
mount -t smbfs //desktop/share /mnt/share -o rw,fmask=0770,dmask=0770,password= |
actually the above didn't work, but i did find a solution. i had to
Code:
chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt Code:
//desktop/share /home/username/share smbfs credentials=/home/username/.smbpasswd,rw,user,noauto 0 0 |
