    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    I've been searching the net over and over for a manual on how to correctly mount my server's shares on my ubuntu box.
    Your instructions work like a charm, your post is the best that happened to me since my switch.

    my sincere thanks!

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    Have allowed read/write access from the windows machine, used the second line in fstab, mount -a gives:

    Code:
    root@UBUNTU:~# mount -a
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //DESKTOP/C,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    hi.
    first of all, very helpfull guide! made a lot of things clear for me. thanks for that. but i still have a problem...
    accessing my ubuntu-laptop from mij windows-desktop is no problem. the other way round doesnt work...
    i did everything in the tutorial (with DHCP) and i get no errors, but when i do
    Code:
    sudo mount -a
    , nothing happens. or it takes a long time and then i just ctrl-c. so i suppose i did something wrong. i'm not at all an expert, so if you explain something to me, please do it like in your tutorial
    thanks in advance...

    Maarten

    ps: if there's anything else you need to know from me, please ask.

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    ok, this is the fstab thingy:
    //MAARTEN/Pbs2 /mnt/samba cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_ mode=0777 0 0
    smbtree:
    WORKGROUP
    \\MAARTEN blackbox
    timeout connecting to 10.61.16.155:445

    cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PIE<20> (10.91.16.57)
    but it's different from the last time...
    also, sometimes, in nautilus, 'MAARTEN' appears (which is the windows pc), but when i click it, they say: "couldn't display all the contents" or something like that.
    i must note that there are several other computers in the network, with different workgroup names, i haven't configured those. so for now i don't ware about them. i'd just like to get on \\MAARTEN
    \\craptop is the ubuntu laptop.
    thanks for the quick reply

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    humm ... try this instead:
    Code:
    smbtree --authentication-file=/root/.smbcredentials
    also post the error that follows when you do this:
    Code:
    sudo mount /mnt/samba

    mount error 22 = Invalid argument
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
    the mount took a long time again

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    have you installed and configured firestarter on your ubuntu machine? how about a windows firewall? (zone alarm, norton, xp's firewall)

    you should be able to authenticate to the share with smbtree unless there is something blocking your access. so if you have firewalls turned on, try disabling them temporarily.
