Cacko 1.22 Lite: Smbclient And Mount Broken

[silvio]

Hello,

the /bin/mount command is a link to the busybox - which is not able to use smbfs.

Because /bin is readonly, there is no way to install a better mount command like this:
http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0....-1-fam1_arm.ipk

The smbclient package can not add a /sbin/mount.smbfs since /sbin is also read only.

So no chance for a "mount -t smbfs" command and for using smbfs entries in the fstab.  

The smbclient package is not able to use any other unicode_map than the ISO8859-1 map - as a result special characters like german umlauts can not be displayed in cacko smb mounts. I tried to use a ISO8859-15 unicode_map - but the smbclient does'nt accept it.

In summary the capabilities for using smb shares whith cacko 1.22 lite is very  restricted and can not be repaired by installing better packages.

I hope this will be fixed in 1.23.

regards,
Silvio

Stop being angry and remount / read-write

Code: [Select]

mount -o remount,rw /
will do this for you and then you can add stuff to /bin and /sbin as you like.

Be sure to remember to remount it read-only after your done or you will likely delete something you shouldn't like I did and have to reflash the Z.

If you don't want to remount / read-write then add mount.smbfs into /usr/local/bin or /home/QtPalmtop/bin (or anywhere else you like that is read-write and add that to PATH)

I didn't know that this can be done. Thanks for this hint!

But I've still not managed to mount smb shares from fstab

The only way that I have been able to mount SMB shares is with smbmount.

Sorry can't help you with that. I don't have anything I want to mount on my Z that comes from a windows share - in fact don't have anything that comes on a windows share

I only use samba for connecting my Z to my windows box at work - and that's to mount the Z on the windows box cause it's easier to use a real keyboard/mouse to copy stuff.

Everything else I do between PC and Z is done with ssh
