Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) Zman Profile Can anyone walk me through the process of mounting a windows shared drive with midori....i have the newest version from Wes...i just cant get the thing to mount... Zman 04-11-2002 18:16:50

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) rlyacht Profile mount -t smbfs -o username=your_windows_id //windows_machine/share_name /mnt/cf Notes: 1. You'll see some error messages which you can ignore 2. Enter your windows password when prompted 3. I'm mounting on /mnt/cf since it's there. Really you should create a directory for this purpose, but it's there and I don't use it for mounting the compact flash. Hope this helps! 04-11-2002 19:00:46

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) mezman Profile | Email I have been mounting my win2k drives as follows: mkdir /tmp/my_local_new_dir smbmount //WINDOWS_HOST_NAME/ /tmp/my_local_new_dir/ -o username=me,password=my_password I use to get a map_codepage.850 (or somthing) file missing error, but I found the file out on the net, put where it asked and that error went away. I mounted netscape that way and it works great. I have a perl script that displays my photo album. Each pic is as large as 700k. This would cause netscape to crash. I determined that setting the netscape cache to 1k fixed the problem. 04-11-2002 19:58:55

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) Throck Profile Ok, ive got some serious problems over here... when I mount the WinXP drive using "mount -t smbfs -o username=test,password=test,workgroup=Workgroup //CompName/Folder /mnt/cf" I get a unicode_map.850 missing error, which i ignore (?) then it appears to mount. typing "mount | grep cf" gives me "//CompName/Folder on /mnt/cf type smbfs (0)" However if i try to cd to /mnt/cf it says it cant cd there, and even "ls -ld /mnt/cf" gives me the error "ls: /mnt/cf: Permission denied" Anyone have any ideas? I tried a bunch of things with no luck. Sorry this post might be a little spaztic, its driving me nuts here. I know its got to be something obvious.. Thanks guys. -BcPuX 04-20-2002 08:49:06

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) rlyacht Profile Throck, did you create a user on your XP box with the name "test" and password "test"? You need to do this for it to work. 04-22-2002 18:29:47

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) rbnoggin Profile | Email Several things to do to get the mount to work properly with the current Midori image.... First fix the mtab file..... cd /tmp/config/etc rm mtab ln -s /proc/mounts /tmp/config/etc/mtab freeze the config freeze create a mountpoint in the /tmp directory structure somewhere mkdir /tmp/mountpoint use your mount command to mount the share...you don't need the workgroup option usually. before you freeze you need to unmount the share....freeze sometimes will try to encapsulate it also depending on where you create it. good luck 04-22-2002 19:21:17

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) mezman Profile | Email Interesting... I never had to do this (symbolic link to mtab). My mtab file has duplicate entries. I never even knew there was an mtab file; smbmount works great, what is the purpose of the mtab file? 04-23-2002 09:22:36

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) rbnoggin Profile | Email mtab is supposed to track what filesystems you have mounted. with Midori, the mounts are being tracked by /proc/mounts. by creating the link, your mount and unmount commands will show you the proper info, and work properly when you use commands like mount -a.....of course to use that you need to make sure that /tmp/config/etc/fstab exists with the mounts you want to occur. 04-23-2002 22:05:15

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) Throck Profile Thanks for the help guys, but I tried it exactly as you said and still am having the same problem. I am using Midori_3.img from iahacking.com, which should be the newest version. I know very little about linux, but this seems to go against everything i do know... 04-24-2002 16:32:09

RE:Mounting Windows drives with Midori image (modified 0 times) coughcoughhack Profile Thanks for the symbolic link info...mount now works much better. I am using the workstation.img and I can manually mount samba (windoze) shares using an fstab entry and mount -a, but I'd like to have the mount created automatically at startup. Is there a way to do this? XFinit runs before networking starts so I can't put the mount there. 06-08-2002 20:24:52
