 |
|
Hey,
I have a lil problem mounting a network drive at work.
I use samba and I can succesfully automount a share on another box via /etc/fstab.
Also that particular networkdrive I can browse via xfsamba, so i can reach it , and my credentials are ok.
Here's my fstab :
| Quote: | /dev/hda1 /mnt/c ntfs noatime,umask=777 0 0
/dev/hda2 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda4 / ext3 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
//TCU_Server/TCU_Server /mnt/tcuzuid smbfs username=*,password=*,fmask=777
//*****/Data/Afd/db/TCU/No /mnt/no smbfs username=*,password=*,fmask=777
|
and here's my error :
| Quote: |
root@S04200 n300851 # mount -a
18989: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
SMB connection failed |
I know its a pretty straightforward error, but I can browse that network drive with xfsamba.
It's about the last line in my fstab. My thought is that i can't mount it cause its not actually a share but a real drive, like a mapped network drive.
Any suggestions ? Thnx

You must mount the share - you can't mount a directory on that share, which is what you're trying to do.
Note that this doesn't work in Windows either - it is always just one servername followed by one sharename.

No luck.

Read again what I said: you have to mount a share.
Nothing else can and will work.
Surely you know the name of the share and machine in your own network ?
