Mounting a network drive in Jessie

[mgiara]

Hello!

I've done a bit of searching and have tried the following guides:
http://www.stuffaboutcode.com/2012/05/r ... share.html
https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi ... ge-at-boot
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-mou ... ows-share/
and haven't had any luck.

What should make this easier is that I've successfully accomplished exactly what I'm aiming to now on an old Pi (2 B) running what I believe is wheezy.

I remember it taking me an entire day of troubleshooting, and I don't believe any of the above guides are the one I followed.

Here's the fstab from the Pi on which remote drive sharing is working wonderfully:

I also notice now that I didn't enter the username and password into fstab in the older configuration.

Selecting Go->Network and selecting the computer I'm trying to connect to requires me to enter administrator and password to access the drive.

Got it working. Required username and password for some reason.

Final fstab:

Code: Select all

//ipaddress/path/to/folder /media/networkshare/public cifs username=username,password=password,workgroup=workgroup

below that I had

Code: Select all

LABEL=Windows none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse

but

Code: Select all

sudo mount -a

would produce

Code: Select all

mount: can't find LABEL=Windows

so I got rid of it
