It
- is usually invoked as <b class="command">mount.smbfs</b> by
- the <a href="mount.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mount</span>(8)</span></a> command when using the
- "-t smbfs" option. This command only works in Linux, and the kernel must
- support the smbfs filesystem. </p><p>Options to <b class="command">smbmount</b> are specified as a comma-separated
- list of key=value pairs. It is possible to send options other
- than those listed here, assuming that smbfs supports them. If
- you get mount failures, check your kernel log for errors on
- unknown options.</p><p><b class="command">smbmount</b> is a daemon. After mounting it keeps running until
- the mounted smbfs is umounted. It will log things that happen
- when in daemon mode using the "machine name" smbmount, so
- typically this output will end up in <tt class="filename">log.smbmount</tt>. The <b class="command">
- smbmount</b> process may also be called mount.smbfs.</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> <b class="command">smbmount</b>
- calls <a href="smbmnt.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbmnt</span>(8)</span></a> to do the actual mount. You
- must make sure that <b class="command">smbmnt</b> is in the path so
- that it can be found. </p></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">username=&lt;arg&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>specifies the username to connect as. If

- "user/workgroup%password" to allow the password and workgroup

- Note that passwords which contain the argument delimiter
- character (i.e. a comma ',') will failed to be parsed correctly
- on the command line. However, the same password defined

- sets the charset used by the Linux side for codepage
- to charset translations (NLS). Argument should be the
- name of a charset, like iso8859-1. (Note: only kernel
- 2.4.0 or later)
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">codepage=&lt;arg&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>
- sets the codepage the server uses. See the iocharset
- option. Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0
- or later)
- </p></dd><dt><span class="term">ttl=&lt;arg&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>
- sets how long a directory listing is cached in milliseconds
- (also affects visibility of file size and date
- changes). A higher value means that changes on the
- server take longer to be noticed but it can give
- better performance on large directories, especially
- over long distances. Default is 1000ms but something
- like 10000ms (10 seconds) is probably more reasonable
- in many cases.
- (Note: only kernel 2.4.2 or later)

- For passwords an alternative way of passing them is in a credentials

- leading space.</p><p>One smbfs bug is important enough to mention here, even if it
- is a bit misplaced:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Mounts sometimes stop working. This is usually
- caused by smbmount terminating. Since smbfs needs smbmount to
- reconnect when the server disconnects, the mount will eventually go
- dead. An umount/mount normally fixes this. At least 2 ways to
- trigger this bug are known.</p></li></ul></div><p>Note that the typical response to a bug report is suggestion
- to try the latest version first. So please try doing that first,
- and always include which versions you use of relevant software
- when reporting bugs (minimum: samba, kernel, distribution)</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p>Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt in the linux kernel
- source tree may contain additional options and information.</p><p>FreeBSD also has a smbfs, but it is not related to smbmount</p><p>For Solaris, HP-UX and others you may want to look at <a href="smbsh.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbsh</span>(1)</span></a> or at other solutions, such as
