Here's how to do it for a USB disk:  http://wiki.contribs.org/USBDisks#Mount_your_disk_automatically_at_boot-up

I assume you can do it for a samba share like this:

Code: [Select]

cat <<EOF > /etc/e-smith/events/local/S95mount_SMB
#! /bin/sh
mount //pluto/nas
EOF

chmod +x /etc/e-smith/events/local/S95mount_SMB
or in your case like this:

Code: [Select]

cat <<EOF > /etc/e-smith/events/local/S95mount_ALL
#! /bin/sh
mount -a
EOF

chmod +x /etc/e-smith/events/local/S95mount_ALL

Thanks for the reply,
I read the link but it looks to me that the info applies to local drives attached to the server which the server has already detected.

Could my entry in fstab not work because the samba isn't up when fstab is read?

The links, and the instructions given, have to do with mounting partitions using a "local" event whenever your SME server reboots.

I learned how to do it when working on USB disks.

Did you try my suggestions and find they don't work?

To be honest, I read them and the link and didn't quite understand what I was doing.

1. Open an ssh connection to your SME server
2. Copy and paste the following code into your shell window:

Code: [Select]

cat <<EOF > /etc/e-smith/events/local/S95mount_ALL
#! /bin/sh
mount -a
EOF

chmod +x /etc/e-smith/events/local/S95mount_ALL3. Reboot to test, or issue the command signal-event local
4. Let us know if it works for you.
