Re: mounting samba share on server pc

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Hi Dave,

I have created an script for my system that mounts samba filesystems at start-up,
/etc/init.d/mount_samba

#!/bin/sh
#
# mount_samba - Mounts samba filesystems
#
# Written by Jordi Ferrando
# Debian.etch
# jferrando@xxxxxxxxxx

MOUNT="/bin/mount"
UMOUNT="/bin/umount"

start() {
   echo "Mouting samba filesystems..."
   $MOUNT -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/datos /home/jferrando/datos -o credentials=/etc/smbc.jordi,uid=1000,gid=1000,codepage=unicode,iocharset=utf8,unicode
   $MOUNT -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/datos1 /home/jferrando/datos1 -o credentials=/etc/smbc.jordi,uid=1000,gid=1000,codepage=unicode,iocharset=utf8,unicode
   $MOUNT -t smbfs //192.168.8.5/datos /home/jferrando/surera -o credentials=/etc/smbc.jordi,uid=1000,gid=1000,codepage=unicode,iocharset=utf8,unicode
   $MOUNT -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/datos /home/amarquez/datos -o credentials=/etc/smbc.angela,uid=1002,gid=1002,codepage=unicode,iocharset=utf8,unicode
   $MOUNT -t smbfs //192.168.8.5/datos /home/amarquez/surera -o credentials=/etc/smbc.amarquez.surera,uid=1002,gid=1002,codepage=unicode,iocharset=utf8,unicode

   echo "Samba client mount end"  
}

stop() {
   echo "stop ..."
   $UMOUNT -l /home/jferrando/datos
   $UMOUNT -l /home/jferrando/datos1
   $UMOUNT -l /home/jferrando/surera
   $UMOUNT -l /home/amarquez/datos
   $UMOUNT -l /home/amarquez/surera

   echo "Umounted samba filesystems"
}

status() {
   echo "Filesystems ..."
   df
}

restart() {
   echo "restart ..."
   stop
   start
}

reload() {
   echo "start ..."
   stop
   start
}

force_reload() {
   echo "force-reload ..."
   stop
   start
}

case $1 in 
   start)
      start
      ;;
   stop)
      stop
      ;;
   status)
      status
      ;;
   restart)
      restart
      ;;
   reload)
      reload
      ;;	
   force-reload)
      force_reload
      ;;	
   *)
      echo "Usage: mount_samba {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status}"
      #echo "Usage: ${0##*/} {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
      ;;
esac

exit 0

Then create an init link in /etc/rc2.d
$ ln -s ../init.d/mount_samba S99mount_samba

This will mount the file system after samba is started. It works fine for me.

When my machine boots it fails to mount the samba shares.
      

If it's local, why not access the shares through the file system?
    

Never having used Samba before I was unsure if modifying files directly would 
throw Sambas file locking off. Is this an issue or am i being paranoid ?

  

Fstab is read before samba starts.  
    

Ahhh ... that might explain it

  

You need a script to run your mount 
command sometime /after/ samba starts.
See #10.6 in http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html  for the
Debian way of doing that.
    

Thanks
