Its a 320 Gig Maxtor. Couldn't find a model number..... This seems to be the only discription on it (Maxtor Shared Storage II)....?
Thanks
Thanks for the wonderful howto!
With "user=myusername,password=mysambapassword" in/etc/fstab it works like a charm. However, having my credentials in /root/.smbcredentials does not work for me - although I'm on Hardy Heron and do have nounix option in /etc/fstab I still get:
Curiously, if I have both "credentials=/root/.smbcredentials" and "password=mysambapassword" in /etc/fstab I get samba share mounted with this note :Code:vussvillem@vussvillem-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
So "credentials=/root/.smbcredentials" works only partly for me. Has anyone else had this problem and how to fix it?Code:vussvillem@vussvillem-desktop:~$ sudo mount -a mount.cifs warning - password specified twice
May it be related to the fact that I do have a domain in samba server as well? However, I've tried to have "username=WORKGROUP\myusername" in /root/.smbcredentials and I've added "domain=WORKGROUP" option to /etc/fstab without any success.
I could not find very much information on your device.
What is your current fstab line?
Double check to make sure that your /root/.smbcredentials file is formatted correctly. As indicated in the howto, you should NOT use a gui text editor to create the file, and it's VERY sensitive to spaces and line feeds. Make sure that there are NO spaces before or after the equal signs.
As indicated by your error, you can use either smbcredentials or username/password options in your mount line, but you can't use both.

my fstab line.
# Mount our network drive
//mss-willows/Public /media/Public cifs guest,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=07 77 0 0
Is that mode=0777 right? Or does that not have anything to do with it?
Thanks
Yes, the 0777 is correct. Try the nounix option like so:
Code://mss-willows/Public /media/Public cifs guest,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
