I have 2 Virtual Machines with OpenSuse 11.2 installed on both of them. One machine has KDE and the other GNOME.
My /etc/fstab entry in machine 1 is as follows:
//MyWindowsIP/Mountest /mnt/win cifs iocharset=iso8859-15,uid=270,gid=501,rw,workgroup=WRKGRPNAME,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775,user=“fname\lname”,password=xxxx 0 0
Note:- Since there is a space between fname and lname in my windows crendentials, I escaped it with a \
It worked fine initially and my user was able to write to the windows registry (this is in KDE)
But when I went to other machine (which has GNOME in it) and i used the same mount option, I was not able to do that.
Please answer the following doubts which I have in my mind:
- Can both of my Virtual Machines be mounted at the same time and be given write access to a same shared folder in windows?
- Please note that the user and group are same in both the virtual machines (same uid and gid as well)
- When I rebooted my machine-1 (which was working fine initially) I was not able to mount the windows folder. I am getting an error: Domain name specified twice. Username probably malformed mount error(13): Permission denied. How can I overcome it? It was working fine initially but when I rebooted the virtual machine (first one) I am not able to mount it. Why is it so?
I appreciate your input to the above questions and solving the dilemma I’m in right now…
Thank you
