UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,


I need to mount a directory from a Windows server to a CentOS box.
The Windows server used is Windows Server 2003, and the path to the directory that I want to mount on CentOS is

Code:

C:\Tomcat6\webapps\NASApp\logs

.


I am not sure of the correct way to mount this on CentOS, as most of the articles/documents I read on mounting a CIFS share shows that this is the syntax :

Code:

//server_name/share_name  /mnt  cifs  credentials=/root/smb.cred  0 0

So is this the correct way to put the entry in /etc/fstab :

Code:

//192.168.90.13:/C:Tomcat6/webapps/NASApp/logs     /mnt        cifs        credentials=/root/smb.cred      0 0

OR just like this :

Code:

//192.168.90.13/Tomcat6/webapps/NASApp/logs           /mnt          cifs      credentials=/root/smb.cred      0 0

Thanks,
ana

Why not to mount from the Linux command line and see what happens?

Then, you will know....

Please post back what you learned.

PS: You might also consider search the forums and reading the many discussions here ofter the years on samba.

I've been able to mount a Windows or Mac SMB share on centos linux with something like this:

mount -t cifs -o user=foo,vers=2.0 //1.1.1.1/sharename /media/smb
