mounts a samba share on a remote machine using a credentials file that can be in a file tht is not accessable by other users the file will look like:

username="username"

password="password"

best option i belive

Mount a Windows share. Usually the IP is needed for the $ip_or_host option. Getting hostnames working on a local network never seems to work.

First look into /etc/modules if you have unionfs (or squashfs) support. If not, add the modules. UnionFS combines two filesystems. If there is a need to write a file, /tmp/unioncache will be used to write files (first create that directory). Reads will be done where the file is found first.

Unmount

Delete loopback file device

Appended to grub boot parameters ... gives shell ... password recovery

This will allow you to mount a CD-ROM on Solaris SPARC 9 or lower. This will not work on Solaris 10 due to void and the volume management daemons.

The command is useful when, e.g., booting an existing system with a rescue or installation CD where you need to chroot into the hard-disk and be able to do stuff which accesses kernel info (e.g. when installing Ubuntu desktop with LVM2 you need to mount and chroot the hard disk from a shell window in order to install packages and run initramfs inside chroot).

The command assumes that /mnt/xxx is where the chroot'ed environment's root file system on the hard disk is mounted.

Like symlinked directories, you can mount a directory at a different location. For example mounting a directory from one location in to the http root without having to make your program follow symlinks or change permissions when reading.

the middle command between the ; and ; is the vi commands that insert that line into the last line of the file, the esc with the carets is literally hitting the escape key, you have to have the smbfs package installed to do it, I use it to access my iTunes music on my mac from my linux PC's with amarok so I can play the music anywhere in the house. among other things, it allows you to access the files on that share from your computer anytime you're on that network.

Packages: gmailfs fuse-utils libfuse2 gvfs-fuse

Config files: /etc/gmailfs/gmailfs.conf; ~/.gmailfs.conf (make a copy from the another one)

Unmount:

/etc/fstab (Optional):

none /mount/path/ gmailfs

noauto,user[,username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,fsname=VOLUME] 0 0

NOTES:

- The options between [] are optional since they already setuped on the config files.

- The '-p' flag shows a prompt for the password entry.

- It's necessary to add the user to the 'fuse' group. You can do that with:

and

- The volume name is not needed but highly recommended to avoid file corruption. Also choose a non-trivial name.

- Google doesn't approve the use of Gmail account other than e-mail purposes. So, I recommend the creation of a new account for this.

Mount an smb share with this command. other options -ousername=$USERr,gid=$groupname,scope=rw

Particularly useful if you're mounting different drives, using the following command will allow you to see all the filesystems currently mounted on your computer and their respective specs with the added benefit of nice formatting.

Suppose you made a backup of your hard disk with dd:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/disk/backup.img

This command enables you to mount a partition from inside this image, so you can access your files directly.

Substitute PARTITION=1 with the number of the partition you want to mount (returned from sfdisk -d yourfile.img).

Saved my day, when my harddrive got stuck in read-only mode.

Run this in / in a chroot to get your own proc there.

Add the functions to the .bashrc to make it work

Example: First go to the iso file directory and type:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

user@box:~$ miso file.iso

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It will put you into a temporary mounting point directory (ISO_CD) and will show the files

You can umount the iso file whatever the directory you are

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

user@box:~/ISO_CD$ uiso

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wil umount the iso file and remove the temporary directory in your home

FreeBSD version of the Linux command

The "mdconfig" command creates a device and prints the name (typically "md0"). Just append that to "/dev/" and mount.

Once unmounted, you can unconfigure the device with

using "0" for md0, "1" for md1, etc.
