Mount cifs which package

The password can be provided with the mount command via command line interface with the password option. Windows share can be access with diffrent accounts and different authentication sources. The user domain or workgroup can be specified with the domain option like below. The windows share access crendentials can be specified via the command line interface.

But this is not so secure. The executed commands are stored in the history file or logged in to a file. The credentials can be easily grabbed by others. There is a more secure way where crendetials username and password are stored in a file.

The credential file format is like below. The credential file is provided with the credentials option like below.

There is no need to add a username, password, or domain explicitly. All of these parameters read from the credentials file. The windows share is mounted with the sudo command this makes the local share path can be read only by the current user.

While mounting via the CIFS protocol the mounted partition is owned by its current owner user and group. This may create some problems with the access, modification permissions. Different user and group ID can be specified for the local share path. This changes the local share path to the specified user and group as the owner. In the following example, we set the user ID as and group ID as You can detaches the mounted file system from the directory tree using the umount command:.

Make sure the umount command will failed to detach when the share is in use. Use the fuser command to find out which processes are accessing the windows share:. After finding the processes, you can stop those using the kill command and umount the share.

Even if the umount failed, you can use the -l --lazy option to umount busy file system:. This guide shows you how to mount a Windows shared using the mount command with the cifs option.

Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Search for: Search. Note that this does not affect the normal ACL check on the target machine done by the server software of the server ACL against the user name provided at mount time.

Do not do inode data caching on files opened on this mount. This precludes mmaping files on this mount. In some cases with fast networks and little or no caching benefits on the client e. Note that direct allows write operations larger than page size to be sent to the server. On some kernels this requires the cifs. Translate six of the seven reserved characters not backslash, but including the colon, question mark, pipe, asterik, greater than and less than characters to the remap range above 0xF , which also allows the CIFS client to recognize files created with such characters by Windows's POSIX emulation.

This can also be useful when mounting to most versions of Samba which also forbids creating and opening files whose names contain any of these seven characters. This has no effect if the server does not support Unicode on the wire. The program accessing a file on the cifs mounted file system will hang when the server crashes. Request case insensitive path name matching case sensitive is the default if the server suports it.

Do not send byte range lock requests to the server. This is necessary for certain applications that break with cifs style mandatory byte range locks and most cifs servers do not yet support requesting advisory byte range locks.

In the future the bottom 9 bits of the mode mode also will be emulated using queries of the security descriptor ACL. To recognize symlinks and be able to create symlinks in an SFU interoperable form requires version 1. Use inode numbers unique persistent file identifiers returned by the server instead of automatically generating temporary inode numbers on the client.

Although server inode numbers make it easier to spot hardlinked files as they will have the same inode numbers and inode numbers may be persistent which is userful for some sofware , the server does not guarantee that the inode numbers are unique if multiple server side mounts are exported under a single share since inode numbers on the servers might not be unique if multiple filesystems are mounted under the same shared higher level directory.

Note that not all servers support returning server inode numbers, although those that support the CIFS Unix Extensions, and Windows and later servers typically do support this although not necessarily on every local server filesystem. Parameter has no effect if the server lacks support for returning inode numbers or equivalent. To use rsize greater than K the original cifs protocol maximum also requires that the server support a new Unix Capability flag for very large read which some newer servers e.

Samba 3. Print additional debugging information for the mount. Note that this parameter must be specified before the -o. For example:. Conversely, backslash characters are allowed by POSIX to be part of a path component, and can't be automatically converted in the same way. The variable USER may contain the username of the person to be used to authenticate to the server.
