[SOLVED] Mount a samba share with /etc/fstab

[minos]

Hi!
I've problem with mount a samba share at boot.
Already "googled", tried many solutions, but no way :'(

There's an Ubuntu Server 10.04 with Samba sharing a folder, user+password required
I want to mount this shared folder with /etc/fstab in my Debian 64 bits 6.0.3

Tried :

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.10/share/musik     /mnt/server_share     smbfs     _netdev,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8     0     0

The file /root/.smbcredentials contains :
username=myworkgroup/the_user
password=user_password
(with correct informations)

In command line of Debian client :

sudo mount -a
mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'

Thx for help !!

Is the package smbfs or cifs-utils installed? Does it work if you mount it manually with

Code: Select all

mount -t smbfs -o username=your_username,password=your_password //remote/location /local/location

(could replace smbfs with cifs as smbfs is just a wrapper for cifs now)?
We can't really help you unless you give us more information.

Ok it works now
Nice shot, it was the packages not installed.... now it's ok !
Thx Daamguard!

To help people who has the same pb as me,
> as root :

Code: Select all

apt-get install cifs-utils

then open /etc/fstab and add :

Code: Select all

//192.168.1.10/share     /mnt/mount_share     cifs     credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8     0     0

about the content of the file /root/.smbcredentials :

Code: Select all

username=myworkgroup/the_user
password=user_password
