To make permanent mounts, I put the entries in /etc/fstab and ignore the auto-mount daemon completely.
I was concerned that if you have a mount point /a/b/c/d and when the server is booting, /a/b fails to mount, then the mount point will not be there. It could also be that the mount sequence is incorrect, so it tries to mount /a/b/c/d first and fails then mounts /a/b and you are left wondering why.
As I requested before, can you paste /etc/fstab into the thread?
Regards,
Robin
Hi Robin,
Sorry for delay in posting the output. I was off and below is the output of /etc/fstab
When the reboot took place i believe some thing has written or changed the fstab file and in turn filer01b mount points were missing inside fstab. I have manually edited the fstab file after the reboot.

I can ping my Windows PC using both the IP address and NetBios name and I can ping my Linux box the same, IP address and NetBios name. I can even use smbclient to see the shares on my Windows PC. But I can't map the shares so that Linux sees it as a drive. How do I do that? (5 Replies)

I have a samba server node and I want to mount the samba (CIFS) shares from a second (client) unix machine.
However, the unix mount command requires I specify the name of the share. What if I don't know the name of the share?
How can I enumerate all the shares from the samba client machine?

Hi,
Is there any command in linux to check the remote NFS shares from client machine just like we have dfshares in solaris.

So I have Samba installed on my server and I have to create two shares.
Make a backup of your smb.conf - call it smb.conf.orig. Create a share called
shared that allows read and write permissions for everyone and points to
/media/shared.
Create another share called www that points to the... (1 Reply)

fstab
FSTAB(5) Linux Programmer's Manual FSTAB(5)NAME
fstab - static information about the filesystems
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h>
DESCRIPTION
The file fstab contains descriptive information about the various file systems. fstab is only read by programs, and not written; it is the
duty of the system administrator to properly create and maintain this file. Each filesystem is described on a separate line; fields on
each line are separated by tabs or spaces. Lines starting with '#' are comments. The order of records in fstab is important because
fsck(8), mount(8), and umount(8) sequentially iterate through fstab doing their thing.
The first field, (fs_spec), describes the block special device or remote filesystem to be mounted.
For ordinary mounts it will hold (a link to) a block special device node (as created by mknod(8)) for the device to be mounted, like
`/dev/cdrom' or `/dev/sdb7'. For NFS mounts one will have <host>:<dir>, e.g., `knuth.aeb.nl:/'. For procfs, use `proc'.
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label
(cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'.
This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label.
The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'.
If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as ` 40'.
The third field, (fs_vfstype), describes the type of the filesystem. Linux supports lots of filesystem types, such as adfs, affs, autofs,
coda, coherent, cramfs, devpts, efs, ext2, ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc, qnx4, reiserfs, romfs,
smbfs, sysv, tmpfs, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xfs, and possibly others. For more details, see mount(8). For the filesystems currently
supported by the running kernel, see /proc/filesystems. An entry swap denotes a file or partition to be used for swapping, cf. swapon(8).
An entry ignore causes the line to be ignored. This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused.
The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated with the filesystem.
It is formatted as a comma separated list of options. It contains at least the type of mount plus any additional options appropriate to
the filesystem type. For documentation on the available options for non-nfs file systems, see mount(8). For documentation on all nfs-spe-
cific options have a look at nfs(5). Common for all types of file system are the options ``noauto'' (do not mount when "mount -a" is
given, e.g., at boot time), ``user'' (allow a user to mount), and ``owner'' (allow device owner to mount), and ``_netdev'' (device requires
network to be available). The ``owner'' and ``_netdev'' options are Linux-specific. For more details, see mount(8).
The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the
fifth field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.
The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a
drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available
in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not
need to be checked.
The proper way to read records from fstab is to use the routines getmntent(3).
