CIFS linux mount

[rjackson]

I am able to map the network drive using windows to my linux box running alfresco 2.1.

My goal is to have the linux box mount a CFIS drive or similarly, so that I can have access to the files in the repository in other way i.e. I would copy some files directly to a path available to my web server. (if anyone has another way to do this then please let me know - I really need to get the physical files to another directory, using the URL to access the files directly from alfresco is not what I'm after )

I cannot get this to work. I only get that "the system resource is unavailable at this time" error. I tried nfs but I get almost the same thing worded differently. I shut off all firewall rules just in case, but still no luck. Does anyone know where I should check to see whats really going wrong? It seems odd that mounting the drive worked so flawlessly using a windows client, but that the linux host cannot mount the same.

Any help is much appreciated!

I figured it out in case anyone else has this. The mount was failing simply because i needed to use a different login username. I was using the default admin account, but it didn;t like that. I added a new user, with lesser permissions, and everything went right through.

I noticed this bit on info in the setup info today:

CIFS Connection with Alfresco 2.1.1 distribution

Error : When setting up an Alfresco 2.1.1 Enterprise with Tomcat on Linux (Suse Open Linux 10.3), no CIFS connection can be made both from local system and from remote Windows XP Professional.

However, I can do exactly this. I just need to use different user names!
