[SOLVED] Cannot connect to Samba shares

For example, I'm using

Code:

kmcubie:/usr/src/xbian     /usr/src/xbian          nfs     defaults,noauto                            0       0

in my /etc/fstab for years and XBian is merging this into file /etc/auto.master.d/auto.xbian

Code:

/usr/src/xbian -fstype=nfs,defaults,noauto kmcubie:/usr/src/xbian

Look into file /etc/init/autofs-rebuild.conf, there is the magic code ...

Do I understand you correctly? You want to tell me I needn't do what is written in the autofs documentation (e. g. here: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Autofs/), master map file, map files and stuff, but the script in /etc/init/autofs-rebuild.conf parses /etc/fstab for shares to nfs, nfs4 and cifs drives and is pushing them into a map file? Means all network shares in fstab that are not statically mounted (due to the noauto option) are forwarded to autofs and are being mounted on demand? Cool! THX for the hint!

Exactly And you don't have to restart anything after changing fstab, all is done automagically

Yep, this indeed seems to work flawlessly, no reboot problems, no errors due to outdated SMB versions, shares are mapped and available as needed, all fine!

THX for your support!

But how TF can I set a thread to "solved"? Didn't find any hint. Do I have to edit the first post of the thread and add "[SOLVED]" in the subject?

That's great, thanks for the feedback

Yes, you have to edit your first post, but you don't have to edit subject text, just select "Solved" instead of "No Prefix" prefix
