Akemi,
I know with most mailing lists its common practice to flame every newbie with "read" something emails. But in this case I have been reading, and I think maybe if you had read my email below and my post you pointed out you would have realized that I have been reading and trying.
As for the man page for mount.cifs it is garbage to a newbie. It really is. Sure it gives you all the various switches / arguments but that is really it.
Show me where in the man page does it even mention /etc/fstab ?
Your reply served absolutely no purpose and helped in no way.
I believe I asked valid questions on understanding what I have done so far and how things work, I didn't ask for "how do I do this... or that".
Sorry you feel I have wasted your time.

I have been trying to mount a windows file share so I can use it for remote storage particularly for my Deki Wiki attachments.
Anyway, I seem to have a mount established by doing the following.
- Added following line to /etc/fstab
//fs01/wikidata /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=wikisvcacct,password=testpwd,domain=corporate
- Then ran following command to mount it.
mount //fs01/wikidata
- Then ran following command to confirm mount.
df
Output of 'df':
//fs01/wikidata 1821803064 1435671544 386131520 79% /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments
This would appear to indicate the mount was successful correct?
If I understand this whole thing, if i change directory to /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments would I then be using or looking at //fs01/wikidata ? Or am I still looking at the local file system? Or does it depend on the user?
Since I set this up for the dekiwiki user with uid=500, would I logged in as root be able to access this mount or do I need to add another line in the /etc/fstab for root?
At this point I suggest you read some documentations as well as man page for mount.cifs as suggested in the forum post you started:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=15510&forum=3...
You can learn and find answers by reading. I think this is important.
