OK, I've read the MAN on mounting, and tried some different ways, but I
can't connect to a networked machine.
I have my Linux box and I want to be able to pull some files off my Win2000
box (NTFS). I've tried using it's IP and it's machine name and it's share
name in all different combinations in conjunction with using -s and/or -t
ntfs and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Win2K box IP: 123.45.678.901
Name: mmwabcde04
Share: c$
(IP and machine name obviously changed)
I just want to copy some files from it.
Thanks for any help!!

Wrong fs. You're trying to mount it using it's share name -- SMB is the
file sharing protocol. So it should be smbfs.

mount -t smbfs -o username=me,ip=123.45.678.901 //mmwabcde04/C$ /mnt/samba
Depending on your distro, you may need to install some packages. RedHat,
e.g., requires you to install samba-common and samba-client to do this.
And, please, pick a newsgroup. Follow-ups set.

BTW, another symptom is that while certain types of output don't lock
sound output after they're done playing, other sounds (for example,
chimes from gAIM when I'm listening to music in xmms [not winamp as I
wrote below, duh]) will get 'queued' and then all play at once after
whatever was playing when they attempted to play releases the device.
I'm running kernel 2.2.18 right now, going to see if 2.2.19 has any
effect on it this afternoon.

Interesting! I didn't know I could skip the alias step. As it turns out,
I still can't get anything to work, but at least I can try a buttload
of possibilities more quickly now. Thanks for the tip.
I've moved up to kernel 2.2.19, and still no luck. Looking through the
makefiles, I see that debugging is on for three low level SCSI drivers,
and the aha152x driver happens to be one of them. Coincidence?
I'd still really appreciate any good ideas...Chuck

Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 16:06:50 -0500
I am having some trouble with RH6.1 that revolves around the fact that I can
get the software loaded onto the drive. I reboot the system for the first
time and I get nothing.
I have tried reloading it some 7 times, to no avail. Evfery time I reload
it, the setup program asks if I want to make a startup disk. Is there
something I need to do to get the SCSI drive to load the OS? I have run
Linux on IDE drives without a hitch, but scsi seems to have somethign fishy.
Is this a problem with the lilo config file? Do I need to make the startup
disk and modify the config so that it sees the scsi drive?

I know this is a classic ``how do I do X?'' ``don't, do Y instead''
answer, but I'd really recommend you find an NTP (network time
protocol) client. I've been using the Debian-packaged ntp daemon
quite successfully.

You need smbmount. man smbmount. The man page is clear enoungh.
To mount an smb file system, I suggest using the option -c
for smbmount to pass the mount command. For example, use
smbmount \\\\server\\tmp -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'
to mount the tmp share of server on /mnt, giving it a
local uid 123 and a local gid 456.
mind you, I woouldn't bother with anything so fancy.
smbmount //server/tmp /mnt -P foo -U bar
seems much simpler to me!

Why not? You don't like it, so get rid of it.
What beep precisely are you complaining about? If it's from an editor,
you can tell the editor not to beep (for example, it's "nobeep" or
"visualbell" in vi). If it's your shell, look at its manual.
But you should always be able to beep by echoing ctrl-G to an ansi
terminal. That's what's meant to happen. I think you'd have to attack
the ansi console driver in the kernel to get rid of it ... or find
some Xdefaults option for xterm that turns it off ..

Subject: Install 2nd ATA/100 drive at /dev/hdb or /dev/hdd
Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 16:35:46 -0600
I'm running RedHat 7.1 or a machine with Intel ATA/100 EIDE
controllers.
The primary EIDE interface (ide0) has my primary drive as the Master
(/dev/hda). The drive is an UltraDMA/100 disk, and works fine using
UltraDMA/100.
The secondary EIDE interface (ide1) has the CDROM drive as the Master
(/dev/hdc). I believe the interface is ATA/33.
I'd like to install a second UltraDMA/100 disk drive, and I want it to
run as fast as possible without interfering with the performance of
the original UltraDMA/100 disk drive.
So the question is: Do I install the new UltraDMA/100 as the Primary
Slave, or as the Secondary Slave.
If I install the new drive as the primary slave, will the two drives
negatively impact each other's performance?
If I install the new drive as the secondary slave, will the presence
of the CDROM on the secondary interface keep the whole interface from
running any faster than 33Mhz?
Any input appreciated.

You might try disabling the hardware cursor, by putting:
Option "HWcursor" "false"
in your Device section. Check your driver's manpage, to make sure the option
is spelled correctly.

OK - one more stab. I went thru /proc/interrupts
on my machine and saw no mention of my printer on
irq7. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can explain why.
However, from dmesg I found:

Subject: cdrecord fails only with 2.4.x kernel
Date: 23 May 2001 23:19:21 GMT
I have the following hardware:
Dell OptiPlex GX1
Pentium III running at 550 MHz
Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI card
Yamaha 8,4,24 CDR/CDRW writer
External SCSI
128M RAM
cdrecord versions:
1.9 (comes with RH 7.1)
1.11a01
kernel versions:
stock RH 7.1 kernel
Linux version 2.4.4 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat
Linux 7.1 2.96-81)) #1 Wed May 9 11:09:12 EDT 2001
(compiled myself--all drivers compiled into kernel)
Problem:
I can cut CDR and CDRW under RH 6.2 using a 2.2.18 kernel all
day long without a single problem, but when I (dual) boot to
the 2.4.2 (stock) or a 2.4.4 (built myself) kernel (both 2.4
kernels under RH 7.1), I get all kinds of problems...
However, every once in a while, it works. I just get these
errors most of the time (90% or higher). Bouncing the drive
power has no effect on results. Neither does changing the
recording speed (tried 4x and 8x, both failed consistantly,
though 1x has seen some success). Nor does having a GUI
running or not.
When the recording halts, it could be on the 0th byte written,
the 2nd MB written, or the 11th. It has never halted (yet)
when it has gotten past 11, however. It usually halts
somewhere around 2-6 MB written.
If I boot back to the RH 6.2 image, everything runs perfectly.
There are 3 other SCSI CDROM devices (non-writers) on the scsi
chain and they all work perfectly under all kernels.
Here is the log from my most recent attempt. (Sorry for the
extra script stuff, but some may want to look at the way I
call cdrecord).

So, what changed with the new 2.4.x kernels (wrt burning under
scsi)? Why does my hardware hate those changes so much? I
really want to get this working so I can shift completely to the
2.4.x kernels. Till this works, I have to stick with the older
kernels (at least for burning)... Which is a totally bummer.
Also, can anyone tell me what the error message are actually
saying?
Thanx very much for any help!
(Of course, if you need more information from me, please ask.
I'll try to turn around questions very quickly. And if you
want me to try different options in the kernel builds, just
say so, and I'll try it. Also, is there another newsgroup
or mailing list I should post this question to?).

Are you using one of the older cards supported by this driver? I had a
hell of a time with a 1505 until I found out that the actual circuit board on
some versions was *misprinted*! What is labelled as the jumper for irq 11
turned out to be the jumper for irq 9. If you have one of these, go look
at the adaptec site for the 'real' schematic for the jumper layout.

I just got a Tekram DC-315U SCSI adapter to use with my tape drive.
Can someone help me get the modules installed and running? Their
documentation is pretty cryptic.
Thanks!
(it would be best to email me a reply)
Thanks!

what does that do, then?

It works perfectly on my system. I have both the ide-scsi and scsi cdrom
drivers build into my system.
CDRW is another matter. It'll only write 200M and then lock up the drive
requiring a reboot to eject the disc.
