The need:
I needed to mount a remote (located on 10.0.0.7) Samba folder (named solaria) so that I can use .iso file without downloading it to my local machine (Suse 11.1)
The solution
You can mount the remote driver by hand but I'm lazy so I want it mounted automatically so here is what I did:
1. Created a [solaria] folder in /mnt folder
2. Added the following line in /etc/fstab
//10.0.0.7/solaria/ /mnt/solaria cifs auto,password= 0 0
Now the next time you start you OS you will see the content of the remote folder in your /mnt/fstab
See that I used a blank (no) password for the smb account as I allow guest logins
You can also mount it with the next command
mount /mnt/solaria
and unmount it with
umount /mnt/solaria
Note
One interesting stuff is that the old smbfs was renamed to cifs. Here is where I found this information.
