Network Drive Mapping

http://crunchbang.org – I've been troubleshooting this for a better part of the day, but I haven't successfully solved the issue. Here's what I have so far:Install CIFS:sudo apt-get install cifs-utilsMake media directory:sudo mkdir /media/sharelabelMount the network file-system:sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.120/sharename/ /media/sharelabelThis is where my progress ends. After mounting, I can access the network drive by going to media/sharelabel, but I don't see it in the file manager. How can I add it to the file manager? (HowTos)

I am mounting a Windows network drive to my Ubuntu machine and I am getting write permission errors when trying to edit a file.

sudo mount -t cifs

gives me

//MEDIASERVER/A on /home/anon/Media/Overflow/A type cifs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

and my fstab line is:

//MEDIASERVER/A /home/anon/Media/Overflow/A cifs username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,mode=0777,dir_mode=07‌​77 0 0

From Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 i've been able to mount my nas shares by first making directories in the /media folder, then sudo gedit /etc/fstab to include the following line for each share I want to auto-mount;

//servername/sharename /media/windowsshare cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0

Now, however, I upgraded to 12.10, and suddenly I'm not able to mount the sha

Hello, I've been trying to mount a network drive and I always get error 13 access denied.

This is what I have been trying.

1. downloaded and installed smbfs 2. sudo mkdir /media/public 3. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab 4. At the end of the file I typed:

# Mount a network drive //172.16.23.23/share /media/public smbfs guest 0 0

Then I saved the file. 5.

OK so I've got two samba shares that I'm trying to get mounted. Both are being shared from the same Windows 7 machine. One mounts with out problems, the other one complains about permission denied.

I'm trying to mount a Windows 7 in 12.10, but it doesn't seem to have cifs working. I've installed smbfs, winbind, and cifs-utils. If i run: sudo mount -t cifs //servername/shareName /mnt/point I get this: mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system mount error(19): No such device Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.

I am quite new to Fedora.

[What I am trying to do] On Fedora 16 (Gnome 3), I am trying to mount network drives at boot automatically.

I've got a NAS that is setup with CIFS and open guest access. I mounted it in fstab with the following fstab line:

//192.168.0.101/Stor1 /media/freenasbox cifs guest,rw,noperm,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

which appears to work great.

I have access to a cifs network drive. When I mount it under my OSX machine, I can read and write from and to it.

(machines A and B both 10.04) First /dev/sda1 is mounted in /media/big on machine A through fstab Then it's shared through "Sharing options" which makes it available on machine B: Places > Network > A > Windows Shares > Big Now I'd rather have it mounted in B on startup.
