mounted drive hangs 1

[rphips]

hello

been gone for a while

Anyway my company finally decided to put up the HA pair of SUSE linux boxes. I put a Buffalo NSD inbetween and mounted the by putting the following in the fstab file

//192.168.2.5/share /mnt smbfs lfs,rw,username=root,password=password

This work great and mounts the drive on boot up. the problem is if you do anything within the drive it just my linux box just freezes and I get a error then the mounted device disappears until I reboot again (which I can't because it is my DMZ.

Anybody know how to fix this I appriciate the assistance

for one the line should read:

192.168.2.5:/share_name /where_to_mount/that_share/on_the_linux_FS cifs rw,username=root,password=pswd

note the switch from SMBFS to CIFS, but since the Buffalo probably has NFS support, I would use NFS instead of CIFS for the Linux Boxes...

Read for more info:

You must be a Stealers fan>

Thanks for the info -

192.168.2.5:/shares / mnt cifs rw,username=root,password=pswd

Doesn't work, but I did get it to work with this command
//192.168.2.5/share /mnt cifs

I still have to figure out how to get to mount with out asking for a password
But it doesn't freeze up anymore

But a star for that real cool web site I love it

Nope, no Stealers fan here... Galaxy fan... but to tell the truth haven't seen any Am. Football in ages...

since you have it partially... add this to your line in FSTAB:

rw,username=user,password=pswd

if that not work then:

rw,user=user,password=pswd

Good day

That didn't mount but if I put the command

192.168.2.5:/shares / mnt cifs username=root,password=pswd
without the rw it works great and no freezing.

Thanks

You're welcome... glad to have put you on the right track there...

PS: not familiar with DC United, also I haven't been to the US in over 15 yrs. now, so I would not know what is what anymore...
