Post by SA2057 » 2013/02/01 10:53:22

second hardrive mounted

mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /temp


here are the details...
Edited /etc/fstab

output

Do you use the credentials of user Admin?

Additionally, selinux is an another player that may have to be told that it is ok to share something.

Hi,

Sorry I'm newbie .

These are the commands

Setenforce 0

and rebooted the vm but still not working.

Thanks

The reboot will have reverted selinux to the setting in the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file. The setenforce command takes effect immediately and lasts until the next reboot - so your reboot undid the setenforce.

Hi,

Thanks for you response. I tried again without rebooting the vm but no luck. Below is command to map mount the drive. Could you pl. let me know is it the correct command or not

mount -t cifs//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/new Desktop/fileshare -o username=my username, password=mypassword

error msg; mount error(13) : Permission denied
Refer to the mount. cifs (8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)


Thanks

I'm assuming that the missing space after "-t cifs" is a typo in your post here since I think it would not have given a permission denied error. Did you look in /var/log/messages after the error to see if there is more information there?

Hi,

Sorry it is wrong typo.

The log says denied connection from ( show different IP address on the same subnet as my VM is, but doesn't show my IP address of which I'm trying to mount the drive). Is it something to do with security?

Thanks

If this machine is not directly accessible from the internet then you could try `service iptables stop` as a debugging aid to see if that fixes it. If so then you'll need to add iptables rules to allow the correct ports. If it doesn't help then try pasting the errors here as the more specific you are about what's going wrong, the better the chances are that someone will be able to help.

Thank you. I've decided to rebuilt the vm again so that it has the correct samba config file as I've made somany changes. I will post the output on this post. In mean time What would you suggest NFS as my main criteria is to share the drive between Centos systems.

Thanks
