mount mac folder from ubuntu ?

[cbear]

I am trying to mount a folder on my mac from Ubuntu so I can run weekly backups of my mac files via an rsync script. I have several windows machines mounted from Ubuntu, but never tried a mac.

I tried

Code:

mount -t nfs //<ip of the mac>/folder /media/mymac

tried "cifs" too...doesn't work.

Do I need something special to mount a mac folder ? Works like a charm from on windows machines.


thanks

just tried this...thinking it was 'smbfs'. Does not work either.


mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/root/.smbcredentials3 //192.168.1.203/ITunes/ /media/mac/

got it working:


mount -t smbfs -o credentials=/root/.smbcredentials3 //192.168.1.203/Music /media/mac

The path was not valid before (folder name).
