Re: How to get eclipse to use a SMB or DAV folder?

Not quite. If FJALL belongs to an NT domain, you also need the workgroup=
parameter. Set that to the name of the NT domain. For some reason, a lot
of people forget this. Just groups.google the "workgroup=" keyword in
comp.os.linux.* for evidence.

Also, if you have files >= 2G on the SMB share, you want "lfs" in the -o
string. Like so:

mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,password=SECRET,workgroup=DOMAIN,lfs
//BORG/SHARE /mnt/borg

...or:

mount -t cifs -o user=USER,password=SECRET,domain=DOMAIN //BORG/SHARE
/mnt/borg

While it's possible to mount SMB shares with spaces in their names on the
command line, it's ... difficult to get those things into fstab. The
main problem is that fstab's parser seems to recognize " " as a field
separator, even when it's \ed or in ""s. Ah well, HTH,
