Many thanks for all the help with this, it looks very promising for what we
are trying to do.
I'm following on from this and still getting problems, probably from my own
lack of knowledge.
If I do:
root at ma:~# mount -t smb -o username=test //time.cfs/usershare1$ /mnt
Password:
root at ma:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
.. other file systems ..
//time.cfs/usershare1$
153600 1200 152400 1% /mnt
root at ma:~# ls /mnt
ls: /mnt: Permission denied
root at ma:~#
but if I do (after umount /mnt):
root at ma:~# mount -t cifs -o user=test //time.cfs/usershare1$ /mnt
Password:
mount error 20 = Not a directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
root at ma:~#
I don't think I'm being too blind here am I?
Also, how do I specify a user to mount --bind? It appears at present to be
ignoring -o user= and -o username= and trying to bind as the process doing
the mount, i.e. root This leads to the olddir appearing to be readonly and
not mounting (i'm playing about with this on the smb mounted directory)
Many thanks for all your help with this
