Bug#663140: nautilus: CIFS mounted shares appear twice in tree-view pane

[Ulrich Krause]

Hi Alexander,

for me a trailing slash for the source did the trick, so you may try

$ cat /etc/fstab
//slug/nfs/ /media/slug cifs rw,sec=ntlmv2,user=nfs,password=xxx 0 0
#this one ^

As far as I got it, the mtab entry receives the slash automatically 
while mounting, resulting in different entries in mtab and fstab. And 
that causes further confusion, because the fstab entry can still be 
mounted, resulting in multiple entries for the same source/directory 
pair. I neither know if adding this slash while mounting is a bug, nor 
which package is responsible. But I thought the slogan It's not a bug, 
it's a feature ! had a Microsoft copyright.


I am using the following options in fstab:

//host/share/ /mnt/point cifs noauto,user,credentials=/path-to/cred_file

where cred_file contains three lines (NO spaces around the = sign !):
username=user
password=pw
domain=dom

Without the noauto option the source gets mounted by root. The user 
in the credentials file is ignored (another bug ?).
The user (or users) option is necessary to display the unmounted 
share in nautilus. The mounting happens at the first click.



I hope this was helpful.
Ulrich

Bug#663140: nautilus: CIFS mounted shares appear twice in tree-view pane

[Alexander Pohl]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.30.1-2squeeze1
Severity: minor

Hi,

CIFS mounted shares (from Samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny) appear twice in the nautilus
tree-view pane. One entry with a hard drive icon and the eject symbol next to
it is the correct one which opens the share when clicking. The other has a
floppy drive icon and gives the following error message:

Unable to mount slug
mount: according to mtab, //slug/nfs/ is already mounted on /media/slug
mount failed

The entry from fstab:

$ cat /etc/fstab
//slug/nfs  /media/slug cifsrw,sec=ntlmv2,user=nfs,password=xxx
0   0

Although this bug is only a cosmetic one, it still annoys me for some time now
as I keep clicking the wrong icon. I confirmed that exporting the share as nfs4
filesystem, only one icon appears. On previous Debian version, Debian Lenny,
the same CIFS share (with identical fstab entry) mounted with only one icon in
nautilus. hope this is the right package to file the bug under, but maybe it
really belongs to cifs-utils package instead?

Cheers,
Alexander
