[opensuse] Using Windows shares
Hi, Before last week I used samba3 as a file-server. I used smb4k to mount the shares and use them. Worked fine. Now I'm running a samba4-domain and I can't get smb4k to mount the shares. I can use Dolphin to get access, but applications like Thunderbird and LibreOffice can't see those "mounts". So what are you using to get access to Windows-shares ? I'm using a laptop, so the Windows-domain is not always there. I'm running OS 13.2, smb4k is the stock version (1.0.9). I just saw there is an unstable 1.2.0 version. Maybe I should try this ?

I just mount them via fstab. (mount -t cifs ....) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.8°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

No problems when starting the PC when the shares are not available ? I remember having to wait almost forever when fstab had a harddisk that was not available anymore, but that was long ago.

Koenraad.
About a year and a half ago my Arch servers moved to Samba 4. During the change there were mounts that working in samba 3 that refused to work in samba 4. Picking though smb.conf, I isolated the problem to share options where I had used: force user = someuser force group = somegroup For whatever reason, using force user and force group caused my mount to fail. Check if you are doing something similar in smb.conf for any one of your shares. -- David C.

Yes, but I very rarely reboot this PC when I'm not at home. I guess I would make those shares non-auto. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.0°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

Have a look at this mount option, perhaps: _netdev The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system). Another one could be "nofail". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I am assuming Dolphin does the same thing as Nautilus/GVFS [GNOME] and performs a fuse mount. If so it is likely that those other applications [or the user using them] is simply not looking in the correct place. As the user what do you see when you perform the 'mount' command after accessing a share with Dolphin? -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry to have bothered, smb4k 1.2.0 does work fine, for now. Didn't test that much. Koenraad -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
