Ok, great, I will try that. Thanks!
So, here is what happens.
I am able to connect in dolphin, with the path entered in the file navigation line at the top of dolphin. At first there was a problem with my network access, but that is fixed now.
Okay.
However, I still need to mount this network drive in fstab, and it isn't working. I tried cifs and nfs, and I am never able to mount the drive.
Just to make sure - we are still talking about a samba server? If so, bringing up nfs makes no sense.
I tried 6 different formats for the line in fstab to mount the network drive, using either cifs or nfs, and here they are (with my password x'd out):
1 - //faith%5Cgeorge.olson@vstorage1:/Faculty-Staff%20Data/fsCampusDevFacilities$/Drawings/ /mounters/faithnetmnt/ cifs _netdev,rw,user=george.olson,password=xxxxxx 0 0
faith%5Cgeorge.olson@vstorage1 is a hostname? %5C is a backslash. A hostname is made up of sequences (labels) of a-z, 0-9 and '-' (hyphen), joined by '.' (dot). Apart from the ':', the rest looks okay. [snip proposal 2-3-4]
5 - vstorage1:/Faculty-Staff%20Data/fsCampusDevFacilities$/Drawings /mounters/faithnetmnt cifs auto 0 0
The servername needs to be prefixed by '//', the ':' does not belong there and you're missing user and password in options, otherwise it looks good.
So you see that none of those formats seem to be getting it right, either with nfs or cifs. Any suggestions? I would really like to be able to mount this drive. I can access it right now without mounting it only using dolphin's file manager, but I need to access it as a mounted drive, and apart from dolphin.
With dolphin it is still mounted, just behind the scene. Going with what you've posted above, this is what I would suggest for fstab: //vstorage1/Faculty-Staff%20Data/fsCampusDevFacilities$/Drawings /mounters/faithnetmnt/ cifs _netdev,rw,user=george.olson,password=xxxxxx 0 0 (all on one line of course). To test it on the command line: mount -t cifs -o rw,user=george.olson,password=xxxxxx //vstorage1/Faculty-Staff%20Data/fsCampusDevFacilities$/Drawings /mounters/faithnetmnt/ -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-4.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
