Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

This is FYI only
If you try mount share in windows domain and use following syntax:

mount -t cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -o user=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

You get message: "Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet"

This is without troubles:
mount.cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -ouser=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

Did anyone solve the printf %q problems??

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

I have also just tried the script with the printf's commented out, copied to my /home/user as a file called cifsmount.sh

I tried to run it, but got an error to do with permissions, so ran the command: chmod u+x cifsmount.sh, this appears to run ok

Now when i try to run the script, i get cifsmount.sh: not found.
i have tried it with the variations of ./ or /home/user beofre running it

Any suggestions??

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

you probably already know this but my suggestions are

1) watch out, things are case sensetive so make sure you used cifsmount.sh and not Cifsmount.sh
2) to execute any script you must give the path of the script.

find the script first. do

ls

in the directory you're in to see the actual name of the script and to make sure it's there.

./cifsmount.sh

should work since the "." means current directory .

3) my final sugesstion is probably the more likely one since you seem to have found the script already but didn't have the privilages to run it. to me it sounds like you perhaps edited the script and added cifsmount.sh in it. did you?

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

Ok, I am pretty certain that I had already checked those areas. So a full step-by-step of what I am doing.

On my Windows 7 (sorry for not being linux) laptop, I created a file in notepad (basically copied and pasted the previously quoted script), and then commented out the printf lines with a #, and added ,direct to the end of each of the mount lines. Saved this file in ANSI format as cifsmount.sh (definately no .txt at the end), plugged in the USB cable, selected Mass Storage Mode and copied the file to the root of the N900.

On the N900:
1. Take out USB Cable
2. Open xTerminal
c. Type the following:

Code:

~ $ sudo gainroot

/home/user # rm cifsmount.sh

/home/user # cd MyDocs/

/home/user/MyDocs # mv cifsmount.sh ../

(removing the previous version and then moving the newly copied one)

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs # cd ..

/home/user # ls

/home/user # chmod u+x ./cifsmount.sh

/home/user # ./cifsmount.sh

when is type ls i do get the file listed in the current directory, the chmod line, I have tried without the ./ at the beginning, it appears to work fine. When I type the last line (I am hapy about . meaning the current directory, but it helps with the TAB autocomplete), I get the following displayed on the screen:

/bin/sh: ./cifsmount.sh: not found

I also tried the command with the full path of /home/user/cifsmount.sh, exactly the same error showing (obviously giving a different path for cifsmount.sh)

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

Sounds like some of you are using older versions of the script. The printf %q issue has been solved. Here is the final, working version again:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

#arguments: servername serverip share username password mountpoint

#username, password and mountpoint are optional arguments

if [ $# -lt 3 ] ; then

    #Go into "wizard mode" if there are no arguments

    echo -e "Not enough arguments passed - running wizard"

    echo -e "Enter the server name:"

    read servername

    echo -e "Enter the server IP"

    read serverip

    echo -e "Enter the share name or path"

    read sharename

    echo -e "Enter a username, or leave blank for anonymous"

    read username

    username_orig=$username

    if [ "${username}" != "" ]; then

        echo -e "Enter a password"

        read password

    fi

    echo -e "Enter a mount point, or leave blank for automatic"

    read mountpoint

fi

#if arguments were passed from the command line, use them:

if [ $# -gt 2 ]; then

    servername=$1

    serverip=$2

    sharename=$3

    username=$4

    username_orig=$username

    password=$5

    mountpoint=$6

fi

#set default mountpoint if the user didn't enter one

if [ "${mountpoint}" = "" ]; then

    mountpoint="/media/Remote_Filesystems/$servername@$sharename"

    #make sure the Remote_Filesystems directory exists

    mountparentdir="/media/Remote_Filesystems"

    if [ -d $mountparentdir ]; then

        echo -e "$mountparentdir found."

    else 

        echo -e "Creating $mountparentdir"

        mkdir $mountparentdir

    fi

fi

#requote variables to escape special characters

#servername=$(printf '%q' "$servername")

#serverip=$(printf '%q' "$serverip")

#sharename=$(printf '%q' "$sharename")

#username=$(printf '%q' "$username")

#password=$(printf '%q' "$password")

#mountpoint=$(printf '%q' "$mountpoint")

#check for mountpoint and create it if it doesn't exist

if [ -d $mountpoint ]; then

    echo -e "Mount point already exists - will attempt to use."

else 

    echo -e "Creating mountpoint $mountpoint"

    mkdir $mountpoint

fi 

echo -e "Attempting to mount //$servername/$sharename at $mountpoint"

#Run the mount command

if [ "${username_orig}" != "" ]; then

mount -t cifs //$servername/$sharename $mountpoint -o user=$username,pass=$password,ip=$serverip

else

mount -t cifs //$servername/$sharename $mountpoint -o ip=$serverip

fi

#chown mountpoint to user

chown -R user $mountpoint

echo -e "To unmount this share, run umount $mountpoint as root"

How has the printf issue been solved, those lines are just commented out aren't they?

I have tried this to, and get exactly the same error, I guess I am doing something very wrong, but have no idea what

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

I don't know which script you used but please try this and tell me what you get.

cat cifsmount.sh | grep cifsmount.sh

try creating the script on the N900 itself perhaps.

Ok, I have used the script that GameboyRMH has shown in the post above

I'm not sure what the above command should do, but I have tried a couple of things, typing it all in one go just appears to do nothing, just gives me the # prompt to enter a new command.

However, if I enter the cat command, i get the contents of the file shown.

If I do the grep one on its own, i get a blank line to type on (not sure what it does.

Added some images to try and show the results

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)

Surely it doesn't matter where I created the file if the result is teling me it isn't found......even when it is showing up in the directory????
