Mount samba share on boot

Posted on August 13, 2007 by admin

You may have to run the following command for this to work:

sudo aptitude install smbfs

Add the below to /etc/fstab:

//name or ip of computer with share/share /mnt/share cifs guest 0 0

Make sure /mnt/share exists. You can mount as many shares as you want, just replace share and /mnt/share, with something else. If the share folder has a space in it then instead of using a space use \040.

Example with space:

//name or ip of computer with share/space\040test /mnt/share cifs guest 0 0
