mounting network disks
benner
on my LAN?
Situation:
1 Mandrake Linux 9.0 Box (all ext3)
1 Win/Mandrake 9 box (vfat, NTFS and ext3 mixed disk partitions)
I would like to access my Win/Mandrake disks from my Mandrake only box (my
server) - would like them to automount on boot also...
DO I have to run Samba for this, or is there a way to mount remote disks
(like mount 192.168.1.10 /dev/hdb or something).
Thanks for helping a newbie who's learning fast!
Jeremy
PS: LAN is run through Linksys 4 port Wireless Router/Access Point

If the network machine and the local machine are both running Linux, use NFS. If
the network machine is running Windows, use Samba.
The short form for setting up NFS:
1. Go to the remote machine, edit /etc/exports. Make it look like
this:
/export-dir 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
The address entry means "allow any machines on the 192.168.0.* subnet to log
on."
2. On the remote machine, do this:
# service nfs start
3. On the local machine, do this:
# mount (remote machine name or address):/export-dir /local/mont/point
If both machines have the same user and password, and if you are logged
on as that user, and if you have access rights to the exported directory,
the mount will succeed.
All these steps can me made part of the machine's default setup.

Don't bother posting pot-shots. Think of some more useful occupation. The
above is correct.

Really? Would you like to enlighten us as to which bit of the above?
I only read it skimingly but its identical to what I first did to export
some directories off my server using NFS....
For the OP
If you wish to NFS mount at boot add something similar to the following to
the file /etc/fstab
<server_name>:/<share> /mnt/point nfs user,rw 0 0
If you wish to mount the Windows directories, then set up a share like you
normally do under windows and make sure it has appropriate access permissions
mount -t smbfs //<server_name>/<share> /mount/point
Will mount from the CLI but not on boot, if you wish to mount on boot then
add the following to /etc/fstab
//<server_name>/<share> /mount/local smbfs user,rw 0 0
Note: You cannot mount the smbfs and nfs shares at the same time as they need
either windows or linux to be running. Mounting both at boot will cause a few
problems to solve this add the 'noauto' option as such
<server_name>:/<share> /mnt/point nfs user,rw,noauto 0 0

If Andrew were not an imfamous troll, he would have dared to say what
specifically was in error. But to do that, he would have to know something
about Linux, and he would need a completely different attitude than he has.

I mean, really. You and I are the same in the way we post. You just
give me the name troll, but in fact, you could be called that also.

By changing identities every few minutes like a ground-hugging, slimy
chameleon, you have just identified yourself as a congenital troll. You
cannot address the newsgroup's topic, and you certainly cannot claim to
have won -- or even broken even -- in the great genetic sweepstakes.
Your parents are ashamed. No, wait. I take that back -- they are proud.
I am grumpy because there are people like you in the world. People who, no
matter how little they have, proceed to waste it.
The difference between you and a terrorist: a terrorist has ambition.

Paul. The above is funny, really. You had me laughing.
Let me guess...you are the strange, bearded man at the end of the
street....never married...won't talk to your family....I bet you have
boxes all over your house, with jars full of rubber bands.
Well grumpy old fart, I'm going to continue posting bullshit to all
your Linux posts. Why? I'm bored and because you have never
contributed to anything on-line, yet you expel your venom without much
thought to pissing off the wrong person.
Congrats, you have.

You sound very confused.

A mature person would handle that a lot better.
You have a lot to learn in life.

What a cheap piece of nastiness. Besides ambition is a genetic trait.
It isn't very fitting to criticize a person for their genes.

Paul is notorious for being a non-contributor.

Actually, automount is a different concept - it works on demand rather than
on boot - man automount

Not usually needed, unless portmap was never started, usually not true (I
use RH 8, YMMV). In any case, Andrew is a useless troll who only wants to
generate as much heat, and as little light, as possible.
His "just trying to help" above is a lie. He is never just trying to help.
What could be simpler than to go around tagging posts with "Wrong!"? The
average troll-bot can do it better than Andrew does, if "better" is the
word we are after. The troll-bot has the excuse that it is beyond stupid,
an excuse we can charitably assume doesn't apply to Andrew.
Might I also point out that Andrew is obliged to change his Usenet
identity every few hours to try to stay ahead of those who killfile him
for cause. This is the behavior of someone for whom the needs to readers
are not the last priority, they arer no priority at all.

Umm thank you I think. Is there a more friendly linux NG where I should
post?
Paul: Thanks for taking the time to help out - I will try your
suggestions.
Andrew: Thanks for pointing out a possible problem, but did you really
need to be so obfuscatory and passive-aggressive?

Sorry, (if you haven't noticed (you will)) but Paul bring out the
worse in people....he's sort of the most hated person in these groups.
