Mounting samba shares on bootup...

[bloodykys]

Hi there. I've been having issues mounting my shared network drives from my win2k server to my suse 7.2 machine on bootup.

I've searched the forum (and have found a lot of good resources), but the stuff that I've seen here and other polaces so far isn't working.

I've tried adding //server/music /home/manderso/music smbfs username=administrator,password=xxxx,user to my fstab line, and I get "/home/manderso/music --v Error: Could not determine network interfaces, you must use interfaces config line."

I've also tried adding mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password'xxxx' //server/music /home/manderso/music , which is the command I use to manually mount it when I'm booted. I don't get an error message as I boot, but the files certainly aren't mounted to the dir.

I'm using suse 7.2, aned I'm now kind of wondering if I need some files loaded before I start trying to mount smbfs systems. How do I know when smb proggies(I don't remember what needs to be loaded) are loaded?

I'd appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks.

to mount at boot up i would recommend adding
the below command for every share you require to a text file which you will then call upon boot up. or when required.

mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=xxxx //server/music /home/manderso/music
