Hi all, A while ago I posted about needing to access samba shares on the same machine that the samba server was running on.
Someone posted a script to mount the shares and all was well till I upgraded my PC hadware and had a small accident :( I have tried modifing /etc/init.d/samba adding ... mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/common /mnt/samba/common -o credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=660,dmask=770 > /dev/null mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/windows /mnt/samba/windows -o credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=660,dmask=770 > /dev/null mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/archive /mnt/samba/archive -o credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=660,dmask=770 > /dev/null and umount //127.0.0.1/common umount //127.0.0.1/windows umount //127.0.0.1/archive To the appropriate bits, this works most of the time but fails to mount 1 or more shares randomly. Thinking this was because the samba demons had not had time to startup properly I added a 10s delay, still random fail to mounts. Does anyone have any ideas ? Oh yes, if I open an xterm and '/etc/init.d/samba restart' it always mounts the shares AOK Dave #!/bin/sh # # Start/stops the Samba daemons (nmbd and smbd). # # # Defaults RUN_MODE="daemons" # Reads config file (will override defaults above) [ -r /etc/default/samba ] && . /etc/default/samba NMBDPID=/var/run/samba/nmbd.pid SMBDPID=/var/run/samba/smbd.pid # clear conflicting settings from the environment unset TMPDIR # See if the daemons are there test -x /usr/sbin/nmbd -a -x /usr/sbin/smbd || exit 0 . /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start) log_begin_msg "Starting Samba daemons.." if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/sbin/nmbd -- -D; then log_end_msg 1 exit 1 fi if [ "$RUN_MODE" != "inetd" ]; then if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/sbin/smbd -- -D; then log_end_msg 1 exit 1 fi fi mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/common /mnt/samba/common -o credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=660,dmask=770 > /dev/null mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/windows /mnt/samba/windows -o credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=660,dmask=770 > /dev/null mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/archive /mnt/samba/archive -o credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=660,dmask=770 > /dev/null log_end_msg 0 ;; stop) log_begin_msg "Stopping Samba daemons..." start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $NMBDPID # Wait a little and remove stale PID file sleep 1 if [ -f $NMBDPID ] && ! ps h `cat $NMBDPID` > /dev/null then # Stale PID file (nmbd was succesfully stopped), # remove it (should be removed by nmbd itself IMHO.) rm -f $NMBDPID fi if [ "$RUN_MODE" != "inetd" ]; then start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $SMBDPID # Wait a little and remove stale PID file sleep 1 if [ -f $SMBDPID ] && ! ps h `cat $SMBDPID` > /dev/null then # Stale PID file (nmbd was succesfully stopped), # remove it (should be removed by smbd itself IMHO.) rm -f $SMBDPID fi fi umount //127.0.0.1/common umount //127.0.0.1/windows umount //127.0.0.1/archive log_end_msg 0 ;; reload) log_begin_msg "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf (smbd only)..." start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --pidfile $SMBDPID log_end_msg 0 ;; restart|force-reload) $0 stop sleep 1 $0 start ;; *) log_success_msg "Usage: /etc/init.d/samba {start|stop|reload| restart|force-reload}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
