Help me tweak fstab to write to network share
Submitted by adamsjw2 on Sat, 02/14/2004 - 12:53.
Hi all,
I have the following in my fstab which mounts a network share:
//netmax/public /mnt/netmax smbfs auto,gid=users,username=jadams,password=abc123 0 0
I can copy from this share to my Mepis box, but I can't write to the share. I thought the gid=users would fix this, but it didn't. I've tried?? using -o rw, .... to the syntax, but no luck. I'm sure this is a syntax problem resulting from my limited experience with this type of task.
Any help would be great appreciated and received with much excitement and humility

Try this:
//netmax/public /mnt/netmax smbfs rw,username=jadams,password=abc123, lfs 0 0
I had the same problem when I first installed Mepis. The rw option should give you read and write access to the share and the lfs option should allow you to write files to the share that are over 2 gigs. This seems to work on both my Simply Mepis 3.3.1 boxes.
