[gentoo-user] samba mount on fstab

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi all,

I am trying to let a samba mount on my fstab withopu success,
I got :
//csdc/EngSoftware              /mnt/engsoft    smbfs
username=commodity\\allan,noauto        0 0

ont fstab, if I try to mount /mnt/engsoft, it asks the password and
could not complit the mount.
if I do mount -t smbfs -o username=commodity\\allan //csdc/EngSoftware
/mnt/engsoft it ask for the password and works.

I have I done wrong, or what Can I make to lets this work better.

Thanks, Allan

You can set a password in the fstab.
I use this:

//192.168.0.2/Temp      /mnt/temp       smbfs        
user,uid=smash,gid=users,password=      0 0

Works fine here.
Perhaps not the cleanest way.

smbfs? No, that's not clever. Better use cifs ;-)

I do not think you need \\ here.  You only need this when running on
the command line since bash interprets '\' as an escape character, so
you need '\\' to get a single '\;.  In fstab, try commodity\allan

Remember:

# echo \\
\

Also, cifs is better to use unless you are trying to mount something from Win95.

Oh, and checking the cifs man page (man 8 mount.cifs), the option would be:

user=commodity/allan

Among other things, it supports files >2G (or is it 4G?).

>From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/cifs.txt:

  This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
  (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
  (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
  PC operating systems.  CIFS is fully supported by current network
  file servers such as Windows 2000, Windows 2003 (including
  Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
  server support for Linux and many other operating systems)
  <snip>
  The intent of this module is to provide the most advanced network
  file system function for CIFS compliant servers, including better
  POSIX compliance, secure per-user session establishment, high
  performance safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
  signing, large files, Unicode support and other internationalization
  improvements.

In fact I read on lwn.net that smbfs may be officially deprecated
soon...possibly in 2.6.18.

It will speak SMB, but nowadays it prefers CIFS.
