Subject: error mounting smb shared with ~ in name
Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 04:52:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY156-ds13727AB95EF851A7E89C5E9D4E0@phx.gbl> (raw)
Howdy,
Is ~ allowed on a smb share name when mounting it? I keep getting errors
while trying to mount //server/~foo via fstab.
If yes, can someone give me some tips for what to do to mount a share named
\\server\~foo ?
Here’s what I already tried:
- ls //server/~foo works – prints out the content for the dir
- editing fstab, and adding
//server/~foo /mnt/~foo smbfs binary,noacl 0 0
then doing
mount –a.
This printed out
mount: /mnt/~foo: Invalid argument
- changing in fstab, from //server/~foo to //server/xyz -- this worked.
I.e. mount –a does not print out ‘mount: /mnt/~foo: Invalid argument’, and
`ls /mnt/~foo` prints out the content of //server/xzy
- mounting the smb share directly did not worked either. Running
mount //server/~foo /mnt/foo
also prints out the invalid argument error.
It looks like mount command does not like ~ in the smb share name, though it
is fine with ~ in the the mount point name. Unfortunately changing the share
name is not an easy task, and I prefer making this work rather than always
using long paths with hard-coded remote hostnames.
TIA for any help.
