Mounting a Samab share at boot time
I've got a boot up timing race issue. Here is what I'm trying to do. I want to mount a Samba share from a remote machine on boot up. Presently I have the appropriate entry in /etc/fsatb, such that I can mount the share _once I am in multiuser_. I have figured out how to get the smbfs kernel module loaded at boot time, using /boot/loader.conf. However, it appears that the remaining problem is that the NIC is not yet configured when the startup scripts try to mount the file systems. Therefore the system drops to a shell prompt since it can't mount _all_ the file systems. Seems like this issue would exist for NFS file systems that were staticly mount (as opposed to automonted). How can I get around this? -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe that the method mentioned here is the appropriate way.

/etc/fstab`
case $1 in
start)
echo -n smbfs:
for vol in ${vols}; do
$mount $vol
echo -n $vol
done

stop)
echo -n unmounting smbfs mount points:

$umount $vol
echo -n $vol

It seems to me that the reason for this is that the ufs kernel
'knowledge' allows the fstab mounts for the ufs slices to progress but
perhaps the smbfs module is not yet loaded, so the smb mounts go
pearshaped in auto mode.

Would this assume that you had the noauto paramter for the smbfs
partitions in /etc/fstab? Else earlier scripts would try to mount them, I
beleive, and fail.
It seems to me that the reason for this is that the ufs kernel
'knowledge' allows the fstab mounts for the ufs slices to progress but
perhaps the smbfs module is not yet loaded, so the smb mounts go
pearshaped in auto mode.
I've solved that part of the problem, by hvaing the smbfs module loaded by
using /boot/loader.conf. Howeverm that just gets me to the next problem.
An attempt is made to mount all filesystems not marked as noauto _before_
networking is brought up, Thus my problem
