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

Network Drive Mapping 15 weeks 3 days ago

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.

I get a permission denied error when attempting to mount a shared file from a server. It was setup with guest access ticked so am not sure what is wrong. When the password prompt appears I just press return for blank:

Mount nfs drive as other user 3 years 26 weeks ago

Hi,

This is not a particular Fedora issue, but I take the chance :)

How can I mount a network (nfs) drive (on a RHEL4 machine) from my FC11, but as another user.

E.g. I would like to mount the folder /home/userA on the network drive. But my local username is userB. Hence I don't seem to have access to mount the drive.

I am unable to mount a USB drive (or SD card) to my system without root access.

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 am running OS X Lion. I have the following line in my /etc/fstab:

//darren:q@acid/home /acid smbfs nodev,nosuid,auto

If I run mount -a, the share mounts correctly, but if I just reboot the computer, the drive does not mount.

The drive in question is an Ubuntu SMB share.

Can anyone advise?
