 |
|
Hi,
I want to mount smb shares at boottime on my notebook. These shares are on my home-LAN. I've put them in fstab but that doesn't work because pcmcia startup occurs later in the boot.
Ideally the mount occurs conditionally, that is, it only tries to mount if it finds the host. That way, the mounts occur only when I boot the machine at home.
Even more ideally, it should try this to if my machine resumes from suspend. Imagine this: I come home from work -> I insert my wireless LAN card -> I open up my notebook -> it resumes from suspend -> it mounts the shares on my home-LAN. |

An easy solution would be to put mount commands to /etc/conf.d/local.start
| Code: |
mount -t smbfs //hostname/share -o username=user,password=password /local/mount_point/
|
But this solution always tries to mount your home shares and if it can't access them it gives errors  |
