Use cifs instead. Also, if you attempt to mount a SMB share and it sits there forever and doesn't ever connect, you may need to add "port=139" to the option string. The Samba suite that shipped with at least one distro tried port 445 first and just sat there forever if it didn't get a response, instead of trying 445 and then trying 139. > you can just "sudo mount /home/shares/drobo/folder/" to re-establish > the connection. mount is SUID root. No sudo needed, provided fstab has "users" in the option field. When using SMB, though, the user who's doing the mount *must* own the mountpoint. Otherwise the mount will fail with misleading/stupid error messages. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
