Mounting a share

New MessageMounting a share (modified 0 times) AudreyX3

I can mount a shared drive at boot using fs-cifs with no problem. Does the shared directory HAVE to be located on the DESKTOP of a Windows machine?? Can I mount a share located on a drive other than my C drive?? My C drive is ruuning out of room but I have plenty of room on partitions D, E, F, & G.

Sorry if this is too basic but I'm still learning.

You can share any windows directory (and then mount it from Audrey). For instance, you can make a \audrey directory on your D: drive then set it to be shared in Windows (you should have an option to share it when right clicking on it in explore). Depending on your network setup, be very careful about what directories to share (don't share c:\ for instance) as you could be making yourself vulnerable to hacking from your internet connection.

Thanks Flipp,

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

I could put all my pictures that I want to use in Picframe on my Drive F in a shared folder named PICTURES.

I could also put all my MP3 files that I want to use with phMp3 on my Drive F in a shared folder named SONGS.

In boot.sh I can mount the PICTURES folder using:
fs-cifs -a //My Computer:192.168.1.101:/PICTURES /PICTURES /guest guest

and the MP3 folder using:
fs-cifs -a //My Compter:192.168.1.101:/SONGS /SONGS /guest guest

I don't have to specify a drive? Can I mount 2 folders at once using 1 instance of fs-cifs?

Thanks in advance
