And considering how many businesses are adopting Linux, those two platforms have to play well together. Fortunately, with the help of a few tools, you can easily map Windows network drives onto a Linux machine, and even ensure they are still there upon rebooting the Linux machine. + +### Before we get started + +For this to work, you will be using the command line. The process is pretty simple, but you will be editing the /etc/fstab file, so do use caution. +Also, I assume you already have Samba working properly so you can manually mount shares from a Windows network to your Linux box, and that you know the IP address of the machine hosting the share. + +Are you ready? Let's go. + +### Create your mount point + +The first thing we're going to do is create a folder that will serve as the mount point for the share. For the sake of simplicity, we'll name this folder share and we'll place it in /media. Open your terminal window and issue the command: + +``` +sudo mkdir /media/share +``` + +### A few installations + +Now we have to install the system that allows for cross-platform file sharing; this system is cifs-utils. From the terminal window, issue the command: + +``` +sudo apt-get install cifs-utils +``` + +This command will also install all of the dependencies for cifs-utils. + +Once this is installed, open up the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and look for the line: + +``` +hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns +``` + +Edit that line so it looks like: + +``` +hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns +``` + +Now you must install windbind so that your Linux machine can resolve Windows computer names on a DHCP network. From the terminal, issue this command: + +``` +sudo apt-get install libnss-windbind windbind +``` + +Restart networking with the command: + +``` +sudo service networking restart +``` + +### Mount the network drive + +Now we're going to map the network drive. This is where we must edit the /etc/fstab file. Before you make that first edit, back up the file with this command: + +``` +sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old +``` + +If you need to restore that file, issue the command: + +``` +sudo mv /etc/fstab.old /etc/fstab +``` + +Create a credentials file in your home directory called .smbcredentials. In that file, add your username and password, like so (USER is the actual username and password is the actual password): + +``` +username=USER + +password=PASSWORD +``` + +You now have to know the Group ID (GID) and User ID (UID) of the user that will be mounting the drive. Issue the command: + +``` +id USER +``` + +USER is the actual username, and you should see something like: + +``` +uid=1000(USER) gid=1000(GROUP) +``` + +USER is the actual username, and GROUP is the group name. The numbers before (USER) and (GROUP) will be used in the /etc/fstab file. + +It's time to edit the /etc/fstab file. Open that file in your editor and add the following line to the end (replace everything in ALL CAPS and the IP address of the remote machine): + +``` +//192.168.1.10/SHARE /media/share cifs credentials=/home/USER/.smbcredentials,iocharset=uft8,gid=GID,udi=UID,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 +``` + +**Note**: The above should be on a single line. + +Save and close that file. Issue the command sudo mount -a and the share will be mounted. Check in /media/share and you should see the files and folders on the network share. + +### Sharing made easy + +Thanks to cifs-utils and Samba, mapping network shares is incredibly easy on a Linux machine. And now, you won't have to manually remount those shares every time your machine boots. + +For more networking tips and tricks, sign up for our Data Center newsletter. +[SUBSCRIBE](https://secure.techrepublic.com/user/login/?regSource=newsletter-button&position=newsletter-button&appId=true&redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.techrepublic.com%2Farticle%2Fhow-to-permanently-mount-a-windows-share-on-linux%2F&) + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-permanently-mount-a-windows-share-on-linux/ + +作者：[Jack Wallen][a] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: http://www.techrepublic.com/search/?a=jack+wallen + +
