Need a little help, trying to auto mount my thumbnails directory on from my windows server. I know a little linux to get around, but can;t work out the exact command to auto mount the below.

Code:

sudo mount //192.168.3.5/Thumbnails /media/Thumbnails -o username=xbmc,password=password

sudo ln -s /media/Thumbnails/ $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails

Thx
Matt.

Here's the line from my /etc/fstab on a Shuttle XS35GT:

Code:

//192.168.0.11/Thumbnails/ /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/ cifs username=myuser,password=mypassword,uid=1000 0 0

I placed that at the bottom of the file, and don't do any symlinking from /media. Make sure the user has write permission to the mount if you ever plan to update XBMC from this machine, otherwise you won't get thumbnails

EDIT: should have said, this is for Samba shares, not NFS

Go to Applications/software centre and search for "NTFS Configuration Tool".
Install it and then you will find it in System/Administration. It is very easy to use.
