I'm using 12.04. I can auto mount windows shares via fstab, and I have user-level scripts that consume these shares successfully.
However, sometimes a window server is rebooted. When this happens, the auto mounting that occurred via fstab happened before the windows reboot and is therefore expired (unmounted). In my user-level scripts, I need a way to remount so the scripts don't fail. If I put sudo mount -a, into the script, that won't work because the automated script can't type in a password even if that user is a sudoer. mount -a (without sudo) also doesn't work because it gives error "only root can do that". I've added the user flag to these mounts in fstab, but this too still doesn't give the user-script the ability to mount the windows share, you get an error: no match for /media/windowsShare found in /etc/fstab Please advise. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657900 Title: mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /home/myuser/mydir/myshare found in /etc/fstab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/657900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
