L am struggling with the configuration of the new server. Presently my
problem is that I attempted to create a link an made an error, I do not
understand perfectly what I have read!
[root@smb bobg]# ln -s /home/share /media/dd2
"# rm linkfile" is clear enough but,
[root@smb bobg]# ll /media/dd2
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Jun 29 17:25 share -> /home/share
Which one is the link name to be removed, what is the exact command to
do that and NOT DESTROY or damage the files in /media/dd2?
I could unplug the data cable on the drive while doing the removal but
even then Might there be something lurking to finish the removal when
restarted with the drive plugged in? I am confused and worried about
doing the removal correctly, some advice appreciated. Bob

I do understand how they are connected, but your subject line really
doesn't match the question.

I'm pretty sure you got this backwards. The target goes first, then the
the name or where to put it. If the name (/media/dd2) exists and is a
directory, then the link will have the basename of the target (share).
So you ended up with /media/dd2/share -> /home/share.
What I think you want is for /home/share to not exist and then you run:
ln -s /media/dd2 /home/share
"# rm linkfile" is clear enough but,
[root@smb bobg]# ll /media/dd2
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Jun 29 17:25 share -> /home/share

The part before the "->" is the name of the link. The right side is the
target. "rm" as root will by default ask you if you're sure, unless
you've changed that. So you could just try the "rm" and see what it
says. "rm" without "-r" will also not delete a directory so
you're
really safe.
Anyway, the command you want is "rm /media/dd2/share".

An "rm" command will not survive the target going away.

My problem is getting the smb server mounted on this computer. Creating
a working lie in /etc/fstab is the present problem, I can't do much more
without that.
Presently I have been trying: //192.168.50.149/home/share /media/smb
cifs defaults 0 0
As well as variations of that plus some others I found searching with
google. so far I've had no success. /I would appreciate some help from

Here is a working cifs line from a client's fstab below, with names
changed. All on one line of course.
//cifsserver/sharename /mnt/mountpoint cifs
uid=localusername,gid=localgroupname,credentials=/home/someuser/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,noperm,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664
0 0
The .smbcred file mentioned contains the CIFS username and password. It
looks like this:
domain=
user=
password=
filled in with the windows workgroup/ad-domain, windows user and windows
password. It can of source be anywhere; I'm storing it in the account of
the user associated with the share.
To test it, the command:
mount /mnt/mountpoint
gets all the details from the /etc/fstab file. The command "man
mount.cifs" details the parameters available ("uid=" etc). So the above
presents the share as owned by "localusername", group owned by
"localgroupname", uses UTF-8 for the filesystem paths.

have tried to incorporate my data in your sample fstab line:

uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred,iocharset=utf8,noperm,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664
0 0
My credential file:
[bobg@WS1 ~]$ cat /home/bobg/cred
user=bobg
password= my passwd
However the end result fails in the same way as others I tried which I
thought would work but refuse to mount.
[root@WS1 bobg]# mount //192.168.50.57/home/share /media/smb
Password for bobg(a)//192.168.50.57/home/share:
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel
log messages (dmesg)
Obviously I still have something wrong somewhere. I may do better
deleting everything and starting over ...

Does /media/smb exist? Mount points need to exist before that are used.

I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make, but if you have the

Did you comment it out wrong? But anyway, that wasn't the command he
said to try. He asked you to try the full mount command with all the
options, not the short one used when the mount description is in fstab.

I get the feeling he may have an entry in fstab which spanned/spans 2 lines?
Yes, I asked him to comment out the line and then just try the full command from the
command line
to eliminate an issue with /media/smb. In a previous message he showed the full contents
of
/media so it doesn't appear that the directory is missing.
Would be "nice" if he would attach the actual fstab so it won't be
wrapped/formatted by an
email client.
FWIW, he never confirmed that he actually did comment out the fstab entry.

I suspect your fstab ends there.
Remove the line
mount -o uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred
//192.168.50.149/home/share /media/smb
It is not meant to be an fstab entry because it was a suggestion to try
mounting the cifs share manually issueing the mount command.
Much of it is trash I've tried, juust examples of "what
don't work" and
this is what I get this morning.
[root@WS1 bobg]# mount /media/smb
mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 23 -- ignored
mount: /media/smb: can't find in /etc/fstab.
Is the command not right?
Of course that fails because there is no matching entry in the fstab.

Well here is a copy of /etc/fstab, now with the extra lines 'commented out' I
think, the way I always do it?

You put the mount -o uid=bobg,credentials=..... command in the fstab????
That is not what I intended.
I wanted you to "execute" that command from the command line to make sure there

If you change /media/smb to /mnt do you get the same error?
Did you check the journal for errors?
You should see something like....

And maybe a better clue as to what file or directory is not being found.

Late to the game, but... I would add a "-t cifs" to the above command
line just to be utterly sure. Eg:
mount -t cifs -o uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred //192.168.50.149/home/share
/media/smb
When you have that working, you can assemble the fstab entry from the
working incantation.
It is very annoying that mount doesn't what _what_ caused the error(2).
One thing that occurs to me in the above command is that samba shares
are not paths. Normally (presume a samba server and not a Windows
server) the smb.conf has something like:
[sharename]
path = /home/share
and whatever other options. With that, what you ask to mount is the
share name. So:
mount -t cifs -o uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred //192.168.50.149/sharename
/media/smb
You can't ask a Samba server for an arbitrary path, you need to ask for
a share name.

I really, really wish you'd do precisely as asked. This would avoid any confusion.
I asked that all fstab entries be commented for this cifs mount. I had a very good reason
for that.
This to avoid conflicts and to make sure mounts work manually before putting things in the
fstab.
Worse, you said you "un-commented" but we have no idea what the line now
contains.

Once more with all the fstab lines commented out.

OK...... I see the problem is *not* on WS1. The problem is on 192.168.50.149.
Let me demonstrate.....
If I don't have /media/smb I get....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo mount -o uid=egreshko,gid=egreshko,cred=/home/egreshko/.cred/smb
//192.168.1.1/myUSB /media/smb
Couldn't chdir to /media/smb: No such file or directory
But, if I incorrectly specify the remote directory......
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo mount -o uid=egreshko,gid=egreshko,cred=/home/egreshko/.cred/smb
//192.168.1.1/wrongDIR /media/smb
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages
(dmesg)
So, the directory you Think is exported is Not Exported.

That's not important.
What is is Sharename=bobg.
So, on WS1 the command would be....
mount -o uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred //192.168.50.149/bobg /media/smb
And back to sleep I go.....
