mounting network NTFS drive on FreeBSD
Hello, I am trying to figure out how to mount a network NTFS drive (192.168.16.3\backups) on a FreeBSD system. Can you point me to the appropriate documentation? The Handbook mentions the mount command but I am not sure I can do it using mount? Or can I? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mount-unmount.html Thank you very much in advance!

Zbigniew Szalbot Effectively, you will be mounting a Samba (SMB) share and not an NTFS drive (the latter would be the case if it were made available locally).

As far as I understood, it doesn't even matter which file system is on the Windows disk. I will give an example. First, set up those in your /etc/fstab (makes things more easy): //administra...@ntws2kxx/a$ /smb/a smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //administra...@ntws2kxx/c$ /smb/c smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //administra...@ntws2kxx/d$ /smb/d smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //administra...@ntws2kxx/e$ /smb/e smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //administra...@ntws2kxx/f$ /smb/f smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 Then, make /etc/nsmb.conf look like this: [default] workgroup=ARBEITSGRUPPE [NTWS2KXX] addr=192.168.16.3 [NTWS2KXX:Administrator] password= You can then simply issue # mount /smb/c You can check out manpages for: mount_smbfs fstab nsmb.conf Then, I'm sure, how you can add a directory name as you mentioned above (\backups). I think that's possible, too. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
