ramfree17 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) hi, i am currently unable to successfully mount a windows share inside knoppix. the mount command[1] itself seems to work fine,and there seems to be a correct entry in /etc/mtab. however i keep on getting the access denied error. i have just created the local mount point so i guess the problem is with the mount command. konqueror can access the share just fine when using the smb protocol. i need to have the share mounted since partimage needs to access it locally in order to write the images that i am creating out of the workstation. the frustrating thing is this went off flawlessly a couple of months ago. i cannot seem to find any error logs related to this problem. any tips is greatly appreciated. thanks. [1] mount -t smbfs -o username=myuser //10.190.32.7/share ~/tmp/local [2] //10.190.32.7/share /ramdisk/home/knoppix/tmp/local smbfs 0 0 ciao!

ianw1974 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The only idea I can think of is passing the: umask=0 parameter somewhere in the above command to allow full access to the share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 still no dice. and isnt that one of the last two numbers in the mtab entry? ciao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 try this smbmount //10.190.32.7/share $HOME/your-mountppppoint -o username=user%password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 still no dice. and isnt that one of the last two numbers in the mtab entry? ciao! Nope the last two numbers are to do with checking the disk at startup for errors and the other one I forget now. But try aioshins solution and see if that works. Just dawned on me it might be connecting using guest account without specifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dawned on me it might be connecting using guest account without specifying. i think i remember one of them being the applied umask, anyway i have tried every suggestion and I still get the permission denied error. i just wish konqueror has the facility to allow me to mount the share from the GUI. :( ciao!

aioshin Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 hmmnn.. if it (knoppix) has LinNeighborhood then it allows you to mount smb shared via GUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
