I did this: First, let's create the mount folder. You will need a separate folder for each mount.
sudo mkdir /media/mountname Then edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this line: //servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 Where * guest indicates you don't need a password to access the share, * uid=1000 makes the Linux-user with specified uid or username owner of the mounted share, thereby allowing that user to rename files, * the combination iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode allows access to files with names in non-English languages. This doesn't work with shares of devices like the Buffalo Tera Station, or Windows machines that export their shares using ISO8895-15. With these the codepage argument has to be codepage=cp850, otherwise characters like the German 'Umlaute' are displayed as garbage. After you added the entry to /etc/fstab type: sudo mount -a I got this: jos...@dell-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.250/Disk1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Specific instructions for the freenas would be most appreciated. thx. -- jbraveman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jbraveman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57502 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
