✅ Mount Command (for testing)

You can run this manually to test the mount:

  -o credentials=/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775

Replace:

  • YOUR_USERNAME with your actual Linux username.

  • uid=1000 and gid=1000 with your user/group ID if different (id -u and id -g to check).

✅ 2. Line for /etc/fstab

Add this line to the bottom of /etc/fstab:

//mxuni/wd2-var-www/ /mnt/lan/xiola@mxuni/ cifs credentials=/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0

⚠️ If your username has a space or special characters, wrap the mount path in quotes.

✅ 3. .smbcredentials Format

Ensure this file exists and has the right format and permissions:

username=YOUR_SMB_USERNAME
password=YOUR_SMB_PASSWORD
domain=YOUR_DOMAIN  # Optional; remove this line if not needed

Set permissions securely:

chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials

✅ Test It:

sudo mount -a

If it mounts without errors, it's working
