Thread: Mounting a nas server under ubuntu 10.10

hello ime having problem

when run smbtree following out (abridged)
workgroup
\\lg-nas
\\lg-nas\ipc$
\\lg-nas\service
\\lg-nas\home

want mount lg-nas\home automatically onto /lgnas use in backup script.

im using

mount -f cifs -orw,user=,password=.soft /lg-nas/home /lg-nas

fails , ive tried every combination of sharename can think of , same message. when work ill put /etc/fstab.

can mounted using kde. when tried use moint point in scripts failed. plus rather have moint point in fstab ease of admin

ideas im doing wrong.

paul

sharename should use.

when try mount using following command:

code:

sudo mount //lg-nas/share /media/lgnas -t cifs -o username=user,password=password,uid=1000,gid=1000

or

code:

sudo mount //lg-nas/share /media/lgnas -t cifs -o username=user,password=password,uid=1000,gid=1000

i following error:

code:

mount error: not resolve address lg-nas: unknown error

but can mount using ip address of nas instead:

code:

sudo mount //192.168.1.5/share /media/lgnas -t cifs -o username=user,password=password,uid=1000,gid=1000

i had problem mounting before until installed cifs-utils. make sure samba installed well.

code:

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils samba
