I don't think fstab supports smbfs yet. I use autofs to mount the
shares as needed. You will have to compile the kernel with automounter
support and install the autofs package.
This is my setup for mounting my samba shares.
#/etc/auto.master
/ang /etc/auto.ang
#/etc/auto.ang
c -fstype=smbfs,guest,uid=0,gid=35,filemod=770 ://angela/c
d -fstype=smbfs,guest,uid=0,gid=35,filemod=770 ://angela/d
cd -fstype=smbfs,guest,uid=0,gid=35,filemod=770 ://angela/cd
The option to pass to smbmount are (from the autofs mount_smbfs.c
source)
"nocaps", "-C"
"guest", "-n"
"passwd", "-P"
"srvname", "-s"
"mysmbname", "-c"
"login", "-U"
"uid", "-u"
"gid", "-g"
"filemod", "-f"
"dirmod", "-d"
"port", "-p"
"maxxmit", "-m"
So do get at the cd on the Win machine I just cd to /ang/cd and it is
auto mounted. Of course it only mounts it a smbfs type so you will
loose rockridge extensions.
