I'm running debian lenny and also have on the same lan a Western Digital MyWorldBook with network file shares. I can mount them from windows and ubuntu gui no problem. I'd like potentially to mount them from my deb lenny server using a shell to use as a backup destination one day. How do I mount them?
I use something like this to mount my external WD usb drives (and uncrypt them): Code: #!/bin/bash # USER VARIABLES TB15="/media/tb15" # Folder where the 1.5 TB drive shall be mounted to TB20="/media/tb20" # Folder where the 2.0 TB drive shall be mounted to KEY="/root/root.key" # Keyfile for unlocking the luks / dm-crypt devices DEVICE15="/dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_1110_574D41565531313433393930-0:0-part1" # The path and ID of the 1.5 TB drive DEVICE20="/dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Book_1112_574341565932313039353935-0:0-part1" # The path and ID of the 2.0 TB drive MAPPER15="tb15" # Name of the 1.5 TB device mapper MAPPER20="tb20" # Name of the 2.0 TB device mapper ## ## ## -- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS HERE -- ## ## ## # Check if the 1.5 TB drive is attached, if so mount it if [ -h "$DEVICE15" ] ; then # Check if the mount folder exists, otherwise create it if [ ! -d "$TB15" ]; then mkdir $p "$TB15" fi # Unlock the encrypted drive cryptsetup luksOpen --key-file="$KEY" "$DEVICE15" "$MAPPER15" # Mount it mount "/dev/mapper/$MAPPER15" "$TB15" fi # Check if the 2.0 TB drive is attached, if so mount it if [ -h "$DEVICE20" ] ; then # Check if the mount folder exists, otherwise create it if [ ! -d "$TB20" ]; then mkdir $p "$TB20" fi # Unlock the encrypted drive cryptsetup luksOpen --key-file="$KEY" "$DEVICE20" "$MAPPER20" # Mount it mount "/dev/mapper/$MAPPER20" "$TB20" fi exit 0
Thanks sjau, the drive is actually a network share not a usb drive. I think I get where falko is heading, work out how it is mounted in ubuntu and then use the same info in debian. Falko, I'm away from that desktop for a few days.. i'll post when i'm back there.
Well, I have those entries in my fstab for network shares: Code: # SSHFS #sshfs#USER@SERVERIP:/media/Audio /media/Audio fuse user 0 0 #sshfs#USER@SERVERIP:/media/Video /media/Video fuse user 0 0 # NFS SERVERIP:/media/Audio /media/Audio nfs noauto,user,defaults 0 0 SERVERIP:/media/Video /media/Video nfs noauto,user,defaults 0 0 # CIFS //SERVERIP/Shows /media/Shows cifs noauto,users,noatime,username=USER,password=PASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,workgroup=WORKGROUP 0 0 And to mount them as user, when I want them, I use: Code: #!/bin/bash TARGET=SERVERIP if ping -c 1 -w 5 $TARGET &>/dev/null ; then mount /media/Audio mount /media/Video mount /media/Shows fi I used to use SSHFS for the mount but now I'm using NSF for two mounts and samba/cifs for the third one.
Ok, in ubuntu desktop, i used the connect to server menu and connected to the wd network drive called oldoak. I can see and access the files and share from ubuntu desktop. When I went to cli I typed mount and this is what returned: Code: david@gypsy-junktop:~$ mount /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) none on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/david/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=david) david@gypsy-junktop:~$ ^C is that what you required falko?
Is that the network drive? Code: gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/david/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=david) What's the output of Code: fdisk -l when the network drive is mounted?
Sorry for the delay and thanks for the help guys, but my ubuntu machine has now stopped working so I can't use it for the tests to assist mounting it from debi. Looking from a windoze7 machine I have the share known as Public like this in the windows tree: Public (//192.168.0.54) This has no user name or password assigned to it.
Sjay, I see what you're doing I think. Where you have written server ip, do I put in the the ip of my network drive? Where you have written !bash/bin do I literally write that all at command line or make some sort of script to run it? Thanks
I would use vi to edit the vstabs file yes? I don't know don't know anything about bash though. Could you help?
yes Have a search for "shebang line". And for the script itself, it has to be made executable and then just called like ./start.sh
Got it, partway at least... I've edit the fstab to look like this: Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 192.168.0.103:/nfs/badback /mnt/badback nfs auto,user,defaults 0 0 192.168.0.103:/nfs/Public /mnt/public nfs auto,user,defaults 0 0 They seem to mount up fine on system start up. So I'm not quite sure, what is the other shebang line script you mentioned for?
