bind mount at end of boot

Thermos · 06-11-2007, 01:23 PM

I'm running opensuse 10.2 as my ftp server. On boot Suse mounts shares from other pcs with samba (smbfstab). After these samba shares are mounted i would like to mount some of these folders to a home directory setup for my ftp users. I created a little script file that i can run to mount these (mount --bind /mnt/blah /home/ftp/blah) but i dont know how to get this file to execute as root on boot after the original shares have been mounted through smbfstab.

can someone tell me how to run this at the very end of the boot process or how to make sure it is done after the samba mounts?

thanks in adv.

well, have a look at a /etc/init.d script!

Code:

#! /bin/sh

#
# /etc/init.d/smbfs
#   and its symbolic link
# /usr/sbin/rcsmbfs
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:       smbfs
# Required-Start: $network $syslog
# X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start: nmb smb
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:  3 5
# Default-Stop:   0 1 2 6
# Description:    Import remote SMB/ CIFS (MS Windows) file systems
### END INIT INFO

so put your code below this block. modify "# Provides: smbfs" with e.g. "Provides: some_suitable_name" and set "# Required-Start: $smbfs"

then you can have your script added to the runlevels with yast automatically in the right order, that is after samba stuff has been mounted.
