Good day!
I wanted to mount our samba server whenever my
computer boots so I added an entry in fstab like this
mountpt
//guest@samba/mp3s /mp3
but I have no idea how will I specify the ip address
of the server.
using the mount_smbfs, I can mount it by providing the
"-I ipaddress" option.
Do you know how will I tell the fstab to add that
information? I've been reading the fstab manpages and
also the mount_smbfs but nothing helps.
I've also edited /etc/nsmb.conf and added the some
entries according to instructions but it still won't
work. I mounted it manually by issuing:
$mount /mp3
and I get this error:
smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation
timed out
Is there any shell environment variable where I can
set this value?
Thanks a lot for your time!
