Mount Windows shares like normal drives in Linux

If you want to have access to Windows shares and mount them like normal drives in Linux, use the smbmount command:

smbmount “\\\\WINDOWS\\c” -c ‘mount /mount/Windows’ -I 192.168.0.3

where “\\\\WINDOWS\\c” is the name of the share and /mount/Windows is the destination point. You need the Samba package installed for this as it contains the smbmount command.

    Now the question is, how to have a share mount on startup. Putting the following line in /etc/fstab will allow a user to do it, but removing the user option will not cause it to be loaded on bootup

    \\10.0.23.2\DataHeap /media/server smbfs rw,user,suid 0 0
