[ubuntu] Mount Windows Share Permanently

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. If it helps anyone, since I have seen a few posting here with the same problem, this is how I finally got it working. Go to this doc https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and follow the instructions, in my case I am using "Mounting unprotected (guest) network folders" so I used the entry in fstab, all one line, //servername/sharename /media/w (Hardware)

I love this guide found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently but it is not working right for 12.10 in RC and this the closest I've found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/995535 but so far the option is to mount as .gvfs on startup - the problem with this is that it does not 1.mount on startup without a script 2.search files or folders in the dash.

[kubuntu] Mount windows share. 3 years 17 weeks ago

Hey,

I'm having trouble mounting a windows share. In windows I just click "Map network resource to disk" or something like that and write the address - \\server\share. No password or anything.

Using ubuntu, I tried adding this line to fstab:

//server/share /mnt/win smbfs defaults 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

I tried to mount a samba share from the local network to a folder in my PC. I added the following line in fstab

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.5/my/folder/ /home/mounts/localmount/

But when I do sudo mount -a, it gives the following error:-

[mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

I'm trying to mount a nfs network share in various OSs (ubuntu 10.10/10.10 server/11.10) but continually get the same error:

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 128.251.xxx.xxx:/Systems

I have verified that I have nfs-common installed on my machine.

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.

Hi, I just set up an ubuntu 9.10 server (no desktop environment, command line only) and I'm unable to see my samba share.

I followed these instructions.

How do I mount a vmware vmdk file as /home on startup?

I have been using Ubuntu as a VMWare Guest. All My data resides on a single vmdk disk, which I mounted as /home in the VM using fstab. Now I want to move to an actual Ubuntu installtion for performance reasons (Installed with wubi under windows 7).
