Help with fstab

[nucleus]

Hi,

I am trying to mount my media folders which are located and shared on a Windows XP machine. I have added the two lines below in /etc/fstab but when I browse the two mountpoints, I cannot see my media.

Code: Select all

//192.168.10.30/My\040Data/My\040Media/Movies /mnt/movies cifs noauto,username=<user>,password=<pass>,uid=114,gid=126 0 0
//192.168.10.30/My\040Data/My\040Media/Series /mnt/series cifs noauto,username=<user>,password=<pass>,uid=114,gid=126 0 0

If I do it manually using the below it works.

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<user>,password=<pass>,uid=114,gid=126 //192.168.10.30/My\ Data/My\ Media/Movies /mnt/movies
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<user>,password=<pass>,uid=114,gid=126 //192.168.10.30/My\ Data/My\ Media/Series /mnt/series

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong with my /etc/fstab editing?

Thanks

You have "noauto" specified in fstab which does exactly what it sounds like it does: it does not automatically mount the shares.

Just remove the "noauto" option and see how much further that gets you.

BTW, What OS are you running that your uid is 114?

Thank you for that. It worked.
I use LinuxMint 12. It's another user's uid, not mine.
