View Full Version : FC3: Win2k3 Server Mounts disappear

I'm trying to mount a share from a Win2k3 server on my brand new, fully patched FC3 installation. I have no problems mounting Win2K shares on the same segment, but Win2k3 is giving me some odd behavior.

I was having problems getting past security until I read some posts on this forum that clued me to disable a certificate requirement on the 2003 server. Now what happens is that I run the mount command...

mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //host_IP/share /mnt/localshare

... which executes without error. I get a remote share shortcut dropped on my desktop, and all looks well. However, when I go to /mnt/localshare to view the content, I get a message that "the file or folder /mnt/localshare does not exit."

Any ideas?

Try the mount command with -t cifs instead.

In like Flynn. You, sir, are the man. I assume.

Yup :)

You're welcome. When Windows shares suddenly break when moving to 2003 think cifs.
