Re: Mounting SMB shares...

Noob here...

One thing I can't figure out is how to mount the several shares I have
on a couple of SMB servers (WinXP and a NAT drive).

For example (excuse the Windowology...)

//nat/drive2/archive - How to mount to /archive ?
//nat/drive1/downloads - How to mount to /downloads ? //mce/media/music
- How to mount to /music ?

Some dweeb here will tell you to type man smb.

That will get you nowhere.

Ya... I figured that out before posting. :)

If the shares are not in a domain, simply type:

smb:\\mce\media\music

That should work for you. If you need authentication, you add the user
before an @ sign.

smb:JoeCool@mce\media\music

This I knew. What I'd like is simply a /music folder in root... (or usr,
or all users home directory, or wherever the logical location would be
for user data)

....also want it mounted automagically at boot.

Thanks!
