          Hi how do I mount a samba share in fstab?
 
 
I have a home NAS (network attached storage) router with two drives attached to it.
 
 
The NAS router is part of a workgroup called MYHOME (for example). It in turn connects to my Laptop via a wireless access point (or AP).
 
 
The NAS doesn't require a password - as it is part of my workgroup - and the security for this (password WEP encryption and so on) is handled by my AP).
 
 
So I tried doing the following:
 
 
FSTAB:
 
 
smb://192.168.1.77/FLASH_2_1_1	/mnt/Archos	smbfs	0 0
 
smb://192.168.1.77/HDD_1_1_1	/mnt/storage	smbfs	0 0
 
 
But this didn't work. I also want to make sure I have full read, write and execute permissions on all shares.
 
 
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
 
 
Also how can I make sure that my SAMBA shares aren't mounted until I actually have established a wireless connection? I am concerned that FSTAB might try to mount them too soon. |

          I think your issue is not with the mount, but with the share.
 
To be able to write to samba shares, make sure you enabled writes when sharing!
 
Also: make sure the rights are set correct.
 
an example from smb.conf:
 
 
Code: 
 
[temp]
 
        comment = dumpfolder
 
        path = /mypath/temp
 
        writable = yes
 
        browsable = Yes

          Yeah, that worked. Thanks. The only problem now is I can't write to my share. Essentially I did:
 
 
Code: 
//192.168.1.77/MYSHARE /mnt/storage smbfs 0 0
 
 
 
which did mount my share - but as I said with no write permissions.
 
 
So then I tried:
 
 
Code: 
//192.168.1.77/MYSHARE   /mnt/storage   smbfs   umask=000   0 0 
 
 
 
Setting the unmask to 000. I wasn't certain that this would work - but in the end it didn't and the share refused to even mount.
 
 
The problem with the guide that was pointed to is that it talks about setting a group name and password etc - but normally I don't need to do this. Normally if I am mounting a share from KDE all I need to do is type the address into konqueror as follows:
 
 
Code: 
//192.168.1.77/MYSHARE   /mnt/storage   smbfs   umask=000   0 0
 
 
 
 
I don't tend to need a password as my NAS hard drive is a part of my workgroup and all of the security is handled by my router.
 
 
I assume however that this is a permissions issue - so the question is, how do I mount these shares and ensure I have full read write and execute access to them? |

          I think HJH has the solution: read/edit smb.conf
 
 
However, I'd try
Code: 
//192.168.1.77/MYSHARE /mnt/storage smbfs rw,user,auto 0 0
 
 
I don't use samba very often. If I do, I always use linneighborhood (X11 network browser) so I'm just guessing there |
