Why does Linux require that a user be root/using sudo/specifically authorized per mount in order to mount something? It seems like the decision as to whether to allow a user to mount something should be based on their access rights to the source volume/network share and to the mount point.

I have Samba share from a Ubuntu 10.04 machine which I seem to have no problems mounting in Windows XP running in VirtualBox.
However, when I try to mount it directly in Unity, whether using the nautilus smb://name command or by double-clicking on the icon in the network browser -- it always times out with "unable to mount location" "failed to retrieve share list from server"

Hello,
Forgive me if I have targeted the wrong OS here, but I beleive 50% of the problem is with Ubuntu at least.
Situation: I have a Ubuntu client which fails to mount an NFS share on a CentOS 6.2 server. Because the error relates to access of some sort, I added other-writable to the mode and it looks like "drwxr-xrwx".
I need to automatically mount a network share to a mount point whenever I log into my computer. Currenlty I am doing this manually by running through my history to run the command again and again.
sudo mount IPADDRESS:/path/todir path/to/local/mount/point
How can this be done?
All my computers are running some form of OpenSuSE 11. I have a SLES11 file server that stores Pictures, Movies, and Music. I would like my kids to be able to mount the share when its missing. Dont want the mount to be automatic during boot incase of not being connected to the network such as when using laptops at friends home.
fstab entry:
I had trouble mounting windows share. I wanted to auto mount so that my Ubuntu 12.04 computer would connect to my windows server on my home network. I spent a lot of time in the last several days trying to get it to work.
Hi,
i try to mount a nfs share from my server. The server ist 12.04 and the client also.
My /etc/fstab:
192.168.1.12:/home /home/xxx/test nfs _netdev,defaults 0 0
After exactly 60s the mount visible.
Why does it take 60s to mount the share? The network is available immidiatly after the boot.
Thx

I've got a private share set up on my home server (running Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 64-bit), such that I can mount it with a username/password. I've got it auto-mounting in /etc/fstab with the following line:
Code:
//192.168.1.120/jaywalker_pshare /media/server cifs username=jaywalker,password=xxx,domain=WORKGROUP 0 0
This worked immediately after I set it up.
