Setting up a fileshare through fstab
Okay, in my house we have a fileshare where we can put files and anybody connected to it can access it. It runs Debian, and I'm trying to mount it.
This is my entry for it in fstab:
/mnt/fileshare does exits, and I can mount the fileshare with the mount -a command. /root/.cred also exists and is formatted like this:Code://my.ip/fileshare /mnt/fileshare cifs user,uid=jordy,cred=/root/.cred 0 0
ls -lsa /root/.cred gives me this:Code:username=<username> password=<password>
I think it might be because I don't have samba client, but I'm using KDE and I really don't want to install the entire GNOME desktop so I can use samba.Code:4 -rwx------ 1 root root 34 2008-12-22 13:07 /root/.cred
Does anybody see anything I'm missing that will make this work?
Thanks,

Is the shared file on a linux box or a windows box?

Well, our fileshare runs Debian, so it would be a Linux box.

OK, to share with other linux systems you need to add it to the export file.
To share with windows you need to use SMB and set it up.

Google is your friend. Search on 'linux export file'

Google's great, but I can't find anything on it. It's all on exporting files. There isn't even any good results if I when I put quotes around 'export file'. Originally Posted by Lazydog

I think this is what Lazydog is referring to....
Linux NFS Export / share directory to other UNIX / Linux computer
CSR

Thanks guys, but I'm trying to mount a CIFS filesystem, not an NFS one. Is there any way to do this? Originally Posted by cheapscotchron
