I'm hoping someone might provide some insight to a problem I'm having mounting
a Win2k3 share at bootup. The general methodology I'm trying to follow is laid
out here: http://ubuntuguide.org/#automountnetworkfoldersall and works fine for
my kubuntu desktop but I'm failing to replicate on a Trustix server.
First, I'm using Trustix 3.0 and have samba installed but not running.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /# uname -a
Linux slimserver.linzbach.local 2.6.14.2-2tr #1 Tue Nov 15 11:02:20 GMT 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~# rpm -qa |grep -i samba
samba-3.0.14a-10tr
samba-common-3.0.14a-10tr
samba-client-3.0.14a-10tr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /# rpm -qa | grep -i mount
mount-2.12q-4tr
The pertinent line of my /etc/fstab is as follows:
# mount Win2k3 shares
//192.168.1.20/music /mnt/music cifs
credentials=/root/.cifcredentials,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0
And the relating file is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /# ls -alh /root/.cifcredentials
-rw------- 1 root root 34 Nov 15 17:15 /root/.cifcredentials
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/users/matt# cat /root/.cifcredentials
username=someaccount
password=somepasswd
The mount point is properly created.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /# ls -alh /mnt
total 20K
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4.0K Nov 15 16:21 ./
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4.0K Nov 15 15:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 2 14:34 cdrom/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 2 14:34 floppy/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4.0K Nov 15 16:21 music/
When I try to mount the share (via mount -a) I get the following errors.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~# mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.20/music,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~# dmesg | tail
CIFS VFS: No username specified
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
mount -a works for me no problems with kubuntu. The /root/.cifcredentials file
has a correct username and password.
I can successfully mount the share via the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.20/music /mnt/music -o
username=someacct,password=somepasswd,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
As a work around, I made a shell script of the previous command and am calling
it via rc.local so my mount point loads at startup but I'd really like to get
this working via fstab.
Can anyone provide some insight? Much appreciated.
Matt
