Everthing I did below is done in putty from a cli interface, Install download putty and enter you hda name or address in the address line. Login as root or "su -".
* We need to create a credential file to mount on startup: sudo nano /root/.smbcredentials *Add the following lines: (You must change hda_username and hda_password to the correct user name and password for the hda to connect to):
username=hda_username
password=hda_password
* Save the file by hitting ctrl+x, type "y" to save the buffer, and <enter> to exit. * Now, change the permissions of the file so only root can read and edit it:
sudo chmod 700 /root/.smbcredentials
* Let's back up our fstab: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_old o * If needed you may return to the original this way: sudo mv /etc/fstab_old /etc/fstab * Now we edit fstab:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
* Add this line at the end:
//hda/music /media/music cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
* Finally, test your settings to make sure they work:
sudo mount -a
