Linux - Samba Mount

Bellow are the steps for samba mounting :

1)  Share the folder on Windows machine.e.g on "1521.1101.1491.2271" windows machine I have shared "DocumentRepository" folder.
    Give full access to any user e.g administrator

2) Create directory on Linux box on which you want mount.
    e.g  /u/ServicesPortal/DocMgmtAttachments

3) Edit /etc/fstab file and make entry for your mount . Please refer attached file for your referemce
    e.g //1521.1101.1491.2271/DocumentRepository /u/ServicesPortal/DocMgmtAttachments smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/siebelFile.credential 0 0
   Note : In fstab file, line starting with "#" represents comment.

4) Create credential file required for mountig. Please find attached credential file for your reference.
    In above example we have credential file at /etc/samba/siebelFile.credential  location.
    It contains following entry :
  username=administrator
  password=administrator

5) Now run following command for mounting
    Command is : "mount -a"

6) To check mounting is done or not, run following command which will show you alla mounts
    Command is :  "mount"

7)  for mannual mount use
mount -t smbfs -o username=Nihilent,password=N3wp@55,workgroup=augsoa //1521.1101.01.361/DocumentRepository  /u/ServicesPortal/DocMgmtAttachments
