How do you mount a samba share as a drive

Asked by Sidarth Dasari

Hi, I have a PC acting as a NAS. I would like to mount it as a drive not using GnomeVFS.
How would I go about mounting it like I would a partition.

There are a few different ways. My favourite is to use FuseSMB (http://www.ricardis.tudelft.nl/~vincent/fusesmb/), which you can install using apt-get. The second is to use the automounter to mount SMB shares on demand (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs).

Well I used smbfs and got the drives to mount. Except they are read only. I check the permissions and they are set to the user root. How can I get read/write/execute for all users for these drives?

The manual page wil ltell you how to do that. An online version: http://linux.die.net/man/8/smbmount

Can you help with this problem?
