Hi. I have this working using Cifs-Utils on Ubuntu 22.04. I always get the syntax correct using the mount command first, then happy with the results move it to fstab.

I used to do this on Debian 8, but apparently things have changed. No surprise there, but I can't figure out from research exactly what the change is. The following line in /etc/fstab worked on Debian 8: //192.168.1.156/BigVol1 /mnt/bigvol1 cifs _netdev,username=<the-username>,password=<the-password>,ro 0 0 After a reboot, the directory /mnt/bigvol1 is there, but not the resource to which it points. Should I be using cifs-utils and using its fstab syntax? _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
