how to remount smb after everytime i reboot

[firebird79]

i used to mount a file from other machine, but i get fed up about remount the file after i reboot my machine. is there any way to do it like lunching automatically at start up.

put it in /etc/fstab

eh....how to edit? just put the command that i type when i want to smbmount the file??? i still new in linux, thanks

add something like this:

//SERVER/Share /localpath smbfs defaults,user,auto,username=you,password=blah 0 0

You should add an entry in fstab for every drive you access often. If you don't want it to mount at boot replace auto with noauto

maybe i'm stupid, but i add the thing and it still don't work. the server is an win2k pc. i used to mount the file like this:
smbmount \\\\server\\share /home/user/share -o username=blah, password=blah.
this command work great for me. but i was tired up with typing this thing over and over again. is this should be like to add in fstab:
//server/share /home/user/share smbfs defaults,user,auto,username=blah,password=blah 0 0

thanks.......

You can make a shell script to mount them.
If you are using redhat or some other distro that uses rc directories do this

cd /etc/init.d
vi netmnt

<push I>
#!/bin/sh
mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password //netbiosname/sharename /mountpoint

<hit escape>
<hit shift colon>
<hit wq, push enter>
chmod 744 netmnt
cd /etc/rc3.d
ln /etc/rc3.d/netmnet S50netmnt

reboot and you should be done
hope this helps

hi turnip_01, i follow ur step till chmod the file name netmnt, then i get confuse. i assume u said i had to make another file name S50netmnt in /etc/rc3.d with the contain same as the file that i make in /etc/init.d, am i right? but i found out that i had another file name S50xinetd. is that okey to said you said? sorry for bothering you again.

 

[turnip_01]

If you use the ln command it will make it for you , it stands for link

so yeah just cd into rc3.d and ln.....
and all will be well.
