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.
1. Added following line to /etc/fstab
//fs01/wikidata /var/www/dekiwiki/attachments cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=wikisvcacct,password=testpwd,domain=corporate
2. Then ran following command to mount it.
mount //fs01/wikidata
3. 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?
Thanks!
