 |
|
hi,
i have a small home-network. Now i would like to dynamially mount a share from a client on the server, when the client booted the shared folder should be mounted, and when the client is powered off the share should be unmounted. Is there an option in samba or any other way to do this in workgroups (i know, there is sth. like that for domains...)?

Well, simply put it in your /etc/fstab. Try something like this
| Code: |
//server/share /net/windows cifs user=someuser,cred=/root/.cifs-credentials,rw,uid=somelocaluser,gid=somelocalgroup 0 0
|
Put the user and password in /root/.cifs-credentials
| Code: |
username=someuser
password=somepasswd
|
Make sure this file is readable only by root!

hi,
thx for the reply.
I already tried adding it to /etc/fstab, but that's not the problem.. oh, wait a sec... your using cifs, never looked into it before, on a quick look it seems to be based on smb-potocol, so it should natively work with windows clients i guess.
I will give it a shot.
THX!

hi,
couldn't check if it is accessible after client-reboot. But one problem is: If i try to mount the share (with --force) hile the client is down, i get only the error :" no route to host"

I use submount to accomplish this.
| Code: |
emerge submount
echo "subfs" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
modprobe subfs
|
Then, add this line to your fstab:
| Code: |
//server/share /net/windows subfs fs=cifs,program=/sbin/net.submountd,interval=5,user=someuser,cred=/root/.cifs-credentials,rw,uid=somelocaluser,gid=somelocalgroup 0 0
|
This will mount the directory whenever you cd into it (assuming the remote machine is online) and umount it whenever you leave it. If the remote machine is offline it will say somthing like "no medium found" or somesuch when you cd into it.
Edit: CIFS is the new implimentation of SMB used on win2k and later windoze machines
Good luck! |
