hi folks,
i have a samba drive without any security (it's been provided by my fritzbox). now i want to mount that drive but it always fails.
this is my entry in fstab:
| Code: |
//192.168.178.1/Seagate-FreeAgentGo-01/Backup/Westend /mnt/backup smbfs noauto 0 0
|
this is my error message:
| Code: |
Password:
17503: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
SMB connection failed
|
but the drive is accessible through dolphin without any issues...
please help me how to mount that drive!
cheers!
alex

The part in your fstab:
//192.168.178.1/Seagate-FreeAgentGo-01/Backup/Westend
Is invalid, it should be more something like:
//192.168.178.1/Westend
Or something like that. It's the same as the name you specified between the [] of the share at your server in smb.conf |
