Can a linux machine running samba mount a pathname within a share into a local path? I'm runing samba-3.0.20b-1 on a centos 4.1 (rhel4) box.
I've tried this and it fails: smbmount //servername/home/media /mnt/media/server/ -o username=myuser,password=mypass The error is: 8465: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) When I omit the last portion of the service path it works just fine: smbmount //servername/home /mnt/media/server/ -o username=myuser,password=mypass Trouble is, I don't want to mout the 'root' of the share, I want to mount a subdirectory within it. On a w2k box this syntax works fine: 'net use m: \\server\home\media' and it properly mounts the path as the m: drive. I do recall that win9x boxes could not mount subdirectories of shares. Is samba likewise crippled? So what gives here? Can smbmount not mount from a pathname within a service? Or am I missing the n necessary magical command line incantation?
