How can I specify the ipaddress in smbfs entry in fstab?
Good day! I wanted to mount our samba server whenever my computer boots so I added an entry in fstab like this mountpt //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mp3 but I have no idea how will I specify the ip address of the server. using the mount_smbfs, I can mount it by providing the -I ipaddress option. Do you know how will I tell the fstab to add that information? I've been reading the fstab manpages and also the mount_smbfs but nothing helps. I've also edited /etc/nsmb.conf and added the some entries according to instructions but it still won't work. I mounted it manually by issuing: $mount /mp3 and I get this error: smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation timed out Is there any shell environment variable where I can set this value?

I wanted to mount our samba server whenever my computer boots so I added an entry in fstab like this OK that is not really answering your question, but... Given that the samba server is a Unix machine, given that your client is a Unix machine, maybe NFS would be more efficient than samba fro sharing the disks...

hi, mountpt //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mp3 you can probably use e.g. //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mp3 in your /etc/fstab, but of course you can also add your samba-server in /etc/hosts ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I remember mounting it manually using the command mount_smbfs -I ipaddress //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mtpoint I don't think substituting ipaddress(eg, 10.1.1.1) for samba in [EMAIL PROTECTED] will make any sense because I still have to specify its IP address using the -I option whenever I mount it manually. in your /etc/fstab, but of course you can also add your samba-server in /etc/hosts tried it also, but didn't work.

I remember mounting it manually using the command mount_smbfs -I ipaddress //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mp3s /mtpoint afair i've put a line like that in /etc/rc.local and it works for me (can't reach that machine now because it's off :) and yes, it works after a reboot ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
