Hello wise ones,
I am trying to mount a windows share at boot with mount_smbfs. Since I
have to use the noauto option in fstab (filesystems in fstab are mounted
before the network is initialized), I have created a startup script
(smbfsstartup.sh) and placed it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d:
case "$1" in
start)
/sbin/mount /myshare
;;
stop)
#Maybe do something here...
;;
*)
;;
esac
This exact same script worked just fine on another machine. When I
moved it to a different machine I get this message when my system boots
up:
Local Package Initialization : (skipping smbfsstartup.sh, not
executable).
I have modified my nsmb.conf files appropriately in both /etc and
/usr/local/etc. Using "mount" at the command prompt works just fine. I
am not sure why my startup script is not working on this machine, the
syntax looks fine to me.
As a clue, when I mount from the command line, I get the following
message:
netsmb_dev: loaded
Is this some kernel module that isn't getting loaded at boot time, and
causing the script to fail? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Adam Lofstedt
