RE: [gentoo-user] having trouble mounting an smb share as a normal user

[Gwendolyn van der Linden]

 anyone had this problem before?  in my fstab i have this:

   //jaysdell/mp3  /mnt/jay  smbfs  user,rw,guest,uid=500  0 0

 but at boot time it won't mount... even though all my nfs
 shares work just
 fine.

 so as a regular user, i tried this:

   (~) $ mount /mnt/jay/
   INFO: Debug class all level = 2   (pid 3668 from pid 3668)
   added interface ip=192.168.1.107 bcast=192.168.1.255
 nmask=255.255.255.0
   cannot mount on /mnt/jay: Operation not permitted
   smbmnt failed: 1

What did you put in your default runlevel: netmount, nfsmount?  I
don't know the details, but you might look at that.  If I recall well
Gentoo mounts only certain parts from your fstab, depending on the
runlevel config.

Also, what is the mode for /mnt/jay?  Is it 777, or more restricted?
If so, that might explain why it won't mount manually as a user.

Hope any of this helps...

Gwendolyn.

i'm thinking that it won't let a regular user mount the share because of the 
uid=500 bit in the fstab file...  i suppose that's ok.  as for it not 
mounting at boot time though, that's the weird part.  i have the following in 
/etc/runlevels/default/:

cupsd 
hdparm  
local  
net.eth0  
netmount  
numlock  
portmap  
samba  
sshd  
sysklogd  
vcron  
vmware  
xdm

and a quick look into netmount shows me that it just mounts all filesystems in 
fstab of type coda,nfs,ncpfs,smbfs as long as portmap is started:

start() {
local rcfilesystems=

# Only try to mount NFS filesystems if portmap was started.
# This is to fix hang problems for new users who do not
# add portmap to the default runlevel.
if [ -L ${svcdir}/started/portmap ]
then
rcfilesystems=coda,nfs,ncpfs,smbfs
else
rcfilesystems=coda,ncpfs,smbfs
fi

ebegin Mounting network filesystems
mount -at ${rcfilesystems} /dev/null

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
ewend 1 Could not mount all network filesystems!
else
eend 0
fi

   return 0
}

so here's the kooky part:  i decided to run the /etc/init.d/netmount 
restart... and it all worked fine.  it's just during boot that it seems to be 
dying.
