Hello,
I have some troubles with mounting/unmounting smb-filesystems. I have
some smbfs-entries in my fstab and they mounted at startup (which is as
it should be). However, if I don't login as root, I can't mount/unmount
them,because
# unmount: only root can umount //labmetserver/students from
/mnt/labmet/students
I would like to not mount them at start-up, but mount them whenever I
need them. This works with the options 'noauto' and 'users' for CD's,
zipdrives, ntfs etc, but not for samba filesystems. So, I can
mount/unmount as 'ordinary' user as long as don't try to mount/unmount
samba filesystems. The options in fstab simply don't work for smbfs. Is
there any solution?
thanks in advance,
Kurt Sys
PS: By the way, I still have a problem with mounting samba filesystems
correctly, see an earlier mail of me to this list. I always get the message
# session request to LABMETSERVER failed (Called name not present)
I would like to get rid of this too... Anyway, be prepared, I'll send
you detailed information next week :-)
