OK, so I finally got around to finding a workable option to mount this drive in one line. As I don't have the drive password protected, I can login as 'guest'.



But I don't know how to create the /etc/rc5.d file to run this at startup. Also it needs to umount at shutdown or else it hangs. I've googled a few sites and looked at the existing scripts, but it's still not making much sense. Could anyone help me put a bow on this thread and lead me to a workable example?

Here's how I usually do it:

* Edit /etc/rc5.d/S19music and insert the following:


* Make /etc/rc5.d/S19music executable:


* To unmount /music at shutdown, edit /etc/rc0.d/K19music and insert


* Make /etc/rc0.d/K19music executable:


Change the filenames if they happen to conflict with existing (doubtful). Now /etc/rc5.d/S19music will mount your network drive on bootup, and /etc/rc0.d/K19music will unmount it at shutdown/reboot.

OK it mounts fine <woot>, but it hangs on reboot... which log do I need to look at?

Not sure. Where is it hanging (what do you see on the screen)? To make sure it is getting to the K19music script, add echo "Unmounting music directory" just under the #!/bin/sh line. You may need to add the -f option to umount.

After reading thru the /etc/inittab file I copied the above umount file (K19) to the /etc/rc6.d directory and all is well. I can now reboot and shutdown without issue!

Thanks slowtolearn and the rest for the all the assistance!

Glad you got it worked out. I didn't know the rc0.d stuff wouldn't work, thanks for that tip.
