Gentlepeople Shalom!
I have Linux-mandrake 6.1 installed on 2 machines on my home network
at the moment and access shared drives on my windoze95OSR2 Server/Gateway
I installed Samba and put directories in the /mnt for each drive and
added to end of the /etc/inittab the following commands to access the
shared server drives:
smb1:235:once:smbmount //server/ahable_serv /mnt/ahable -N
smb2:235:once:smbmount //server/hnoon_serv /mnt/hnoon -N
smb3:235:once:smbmount //server/farsh_serv /mnt/farsh -N
smb4:235:once:smbmount //server/laflaf_serv /mnt/laflaf -N
smb5:235:once:smbmount //server/mumzer_serv /mnt/mumzer -N
BTW: for those of you who are wondering, the names of the drives are all
swear words in Hebrew/Arabic, that way I never forget what they are called
:-)
Now the problem!
Sometimes I am able to access the drives, and sometimes not :-(
When I re-boot, a different combination of the drives may be accessable
and sometimes none of them at all :-(
The problem is apparent in both Linux boxes, though more severe in the
newer faster one.
There are no problems accessing these drives from another Windoze machine.
Any words of wisdom from the Linux guru's out there?
All the best:
