smbfs share, sd card, mounting question
 

I am trying to set up my laptop to do the following:

-When I am at home (attached to my network):
-auto mount a network share containing my music library
-auto mount my 4Gb SD card (if present)
-be able to transfer a playlist to the SD card for later

-When away (not connected to network or internet):
-auto mount SD card
-listen to previously synced playlist

-Always:
-be able to mount/umount the network share and the SD card from the gui

-what is working:
-syncing playlist to SD card with Amarok when (SD and smb share) mounted
-SD mounts on boot
-Not working
-Cannot umount SD card or network share(when mounted) from the gui: /
/

*


/[mntent]: line 17 in /etc/fstab is bad: only root
can unmount UUID=364B-50C2 from /media/mmcblk0p1/

-network share doesn't mount at boot

I don't think my fstab is setup right. If someone could point me in the
right direction I would appreciate it.


thanks

Sam

smbfs share, sd card, mounting question
 

Hmm, what do you mean with auto mount? do you mean that as soon that you are connected to your home network, a share of* some others of your computers at home should be mounted? I think that is pretty difficult to do. You might be able to do it with new Upstart (
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/). Then you'd have to create some kind of job descriptions. But probably it does not even have this functionality yet, you'd have to wait till ubuntu
8.10 at least, I would guess.

Or do you want that network share to automount at boot? That could be accomplished by typing the share /etc/fstab.

What does your fstab look like, could send it?

In this line (taken from my own fstab), the user keyword means that normal users can mount /umount it. Maybe you can try adding that?
