Scorpion Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Right i've installed vortexbox on to a Xen Server which is also running Windows XP with multiple shares (Music, Video) the Vortexbox is an automatic music ripper/sharer. The problem that i am having is linking my windows share Music to the Vortexbox on autoboot (both OS have static IP's) i saw that entering this code in /etc/fstab //192.168.11.13/Music /storage/music cifs credentials=/etc/my_share.credentials,rw 0 0 on its own line should mount that at startup so when the machine is ripping cd's for the windows machine it will save it on there instead of its own. when i run the next line mount -a i get this whole error list CIFS VFS: No username specifed CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.11.13/Music, missing codepahe or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg ¦ tail or so but the file my_share.credentials contains the username and password like it should be placed username=USERNAME password=PASSWORD I'm at a loss here i've been searching vortexbox forums and thats where i got the code from and googling gave the same result. the mount can be done manually and it works but i like things on auto. (little info Vortexbox is based on Fedora 11) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have now fixed this i found out after searching more (always find the answer after you start asking) i didn't have mount.cifs installed on the system so to fix that i did yum install samba-client then low and behold the command worked. now to start putting my music cd's on to it the lazy way.
