Re: samba / smbmount problems
yes ive seen it everytime ive used smbmount its very unstable. the only workaround i could find was to umount and remount it from time to time. there are NFS servers available for win* ...dunno if they are any good though. ideas..get a bigger hd :) nate Mathew Johnston wrote: I have a mixed windows/linux network, and am looking to do file sharing over my LAN.

Re: samba / smbmount problems
When I get the input/output error, it seems correlated to the windows box being rebooted while it's still mounted on the debian box.

hi ... can you remember how to configure Samba to support shadow passwords? tks Andrew -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 02, 2000 9:06 PM To: Paulo Henrique Baptista; Debian User Subject: Re: Win 2000 smbmount problems Hi I had a similar problem problem.

SMBMOUNT Problems...
Howdy All... I have started having an SMBMOUNT problem, mounting a shared folder off of an NT Server machine...It was working before I had to re-compile my kernel 2.0.34 to have vfat sound support...The only other change I've made, is I've added my NT Worksation Partition to the /etc/fstab file... Now, when I issue the smbmount command, I get something like this: ShadowGate:/root# smbmount //dahouse/c_on_dahouse /dahouse -U BW07442 -P shadowgate.com -I 192.168.0.10 mount error: Operation not supported by device Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons I looked at the man page, and it was no help... :( Can any one help me out??
