I have Redhat Linux 9.0 and a Window XP/98 machine.
I want to mount windows "share" on my linux machine so that I can read/write from linux as a normal linux mount system.
I tried this command but it failed.
Any clue..Quote:
# mkdir /mnt/win
# mount -t smbfs -o lfs //192.168.1.13/sa /mnt/win
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.13/sa,
or too many mounted file systems
try:
mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,password=<password> //<computer name>/<share name> /mnt/win/
where <username> and <password> are a valid user on the windows machine. This woked ok for me here.
I tried this but it still fails.
# mount -t smbfs -o username=esr1,password=esr1 //192.168.1.13/sa /mnt/win
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.13/sa,
or too many mounted file systems
I checked the kernel module support for smbfs, and it is there.
# lsmod | grep smb
smbfs 43680 0 (autoclean)
Anythis else I can try !!..
Try This. I've tested.... it's working.... :-)
eg.Code:/sbin/mount.smb <hostname>/<sharename> <mount-point> -o username=<username>
You need to supply the winuser's password when prompted.Code:/sbin/mount.smb //10.2.1.100/myShare /mnt/winbox/myShare -o username=winuser
You have your windows share mounted. whooooooooo :-)
I don't have mount.smb under /sbin or /bin.Is it something I need to install ?
Here's a clue
[root@mypc /]# rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/mount.smb
samba-client-3.0.0-15
You have to install
"samba-client" rpm from your redhat 9 cd.
;)
I find that using linneighborhood works great for me. You'll have problems mounting windows as user, unless you change a bunch of permissions and stuff. It's not as simple as simply changing the fstab file like it should be, you actually have to set sticky bits and the such with mount.smb.
Anyway... Linneighborhood is a great program that'll do everything for you.
Good Luck!
