Cant get to mount shared folders on Ubuntu as per the wiki: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/SharingToLinux%20.
Using Ubuntu 8.10 fresh install since yesterday and updated.

Explication not quite clear

I opened up a terminal window. In my user folder...

User folder on Ubuntu or the hda?
1st try on the Ubuntu user home folder /home/user/Music result:

Code: Select all

salocin@emuntu:~$ sudo mount.cifs '\\hda\music' Music -o user=salocin       (salocin is a user on both hda, and Ubuntu system)
sudo: mount.cifs: command not found

2nd I ssh to my hda:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost salocin]# cd /home/salocin
[root@localhost salocin]#  sudo mount.cifs '\\hda\music' Music -o user=salocin
Password: 
[root@localhost nicolas]#

The mount worked, but I still can't see the mounted folder on the Ubuntu system. Was it previously mounted in Ubuntu?

mount.cifs (?) does'nt work on the Ubuntu side.

Answering my own question, found the answer here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534

I was missing the smbf package.

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install smbfs

Under the Ubuntu user, I sucessfully mounted the file.

Maybe updating the wiki to 1st install smbf package would help.
