In /etc/fstab, I have something similar below;
<snip> //windows_server/smbshare /mnt/smb_dir cifs workgroup=our_group,password=xxxx,fmask=777,dmask=777,,username=someone 0 0 <snip>
Whenever I try to mount it I get the following errors;
WARNING: 'fmask' not expressed in octal.
use 0777 instead of 777
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'fmask' is deprecated. Use 'file_mode' instead. WARNING: 'dmask' not expressed in octal. WARNING: CIFS mount option 'dmask' is deprecated. Use 'dir_mode' instead.
... and from /var/log/messages; Jun 29 17:02:38 server-1 kernel: CIFS: Unknown mount option fmask Jun 29 17:02:38 server-1 kernel: CIFS: Unknown mount option dmask
I'd like to use /etc/samba/smbfstab with credentials, but I seem to mung that up to the point that I can't mount the smbmounts.
Thank you for your help Roger. That fixed the octal problem. However, I'd still like to use /etc/samba/smbfstab (with a 'credentials' file) instead of /etc/fstab, but I can't get that to work. Is there a HOWTO that you can point me to, other than the man page.
