Using fstab to automatically mount samba drives

Using fstab to automatically mount samba drives from for example a WD ShareStore drive with CIFS and SMB share support.

My configuration runs on FreeBSD 7.

First put your password information into a special tiny file /etc/nsmb.conf

[SERVER]
addr=192.168.1.5

[SERVER:USER1]
password=PASS1

[SERVER:USER2]
password=PASS2

Next you want to add these to /etc/fstab to auto mount:

# Mount shares
//server@user1/administration /mnt/server/downloads smbfs rw,auto 0 0
//server@user1/communicatie /mnt/server/documents smbfs rw,auto 0 0
//server@user2/creative /mnt/server/music smbfs rw,auto 0 0

I hope this helps you out with easy mounting it :-)

My first broken app on Snow Leopard. MacFusion.

I daily use MacFusion, which can be downloaded from here.

The failing connects seem to be caused by the sshnodelay library.

For now you can fix this problem with the following commands:

cd /Applications/Macfusion.app/Contents/PlugIns/sshfs.mfplugin/Contents/Resources
mv sshnodelay.so sshnodelay.so_bak

I'm sure Michael Gorbach will release a fixed version soon. Or maybe someone feels like helping him out with making a final solution for this problem :)
