Commandline Utilities

mount_cifs, umount_cifs

Chapter 588

-a Used with mount, mounts all CIFS ﬁlesystems that

have entries in /etc/fstab. Used with umount,

unmounts all currently mounted CIFS ﬁle systems.

-r Mounts as read-only.

-o This class of options is speciﬁed with the following

syntax:

-o keywrd[,keywrd...],keywrd=value[,keywrd=va

lue...]

Some keywords are speciﬁed as keyword/value pairs,

some are not. -o options must be delimited by

commas; no white space is allowed. For example:

-o ro,username=fulton,password=pokey

Following are the -o options to mount supported by

the CIFS Client (keywords that require values are

indicated by "keyword=value"):

ro Mount as read-only ﬁlesystem.

domain=domain Send this domain name to the server,

username=name Username sent to server. By default,

the HP CIFS Client accesses the

server under the same user name as

the login name of the user. If you

have a different user name at the

server, you may use this option to set

that name. It is ignored if you are

already logged in. Must be used with

the password option.

password=passwd Password for username given in

commandline. Use this option only if

you really have to, because all

commandline parameters may show

up in the output of the ps command.

This makes it possible to pass a

dynamically generated password to

the server. Password is ignored if the

user is already logged in at the

server. Must be used with the

username option.
