Roland, are you saying that you have a USB drive that's mounted on your system, and you're trying to share it with someone over a network? It's not clear just what you're trying to accomplish. If you're talking about how to mount your USB disk on your system, note that both SMB and CIFS are network protocols for sharing and/or mounting Windows shares over the network. Neither one is used to mount a _disk_. To mount a USB disk with a Microsoft-style filesystem, the correct commands are either "mount -t vfat" or "mount -t ntfs", surely _not_ "mount -t smbfs" or "mount -t cifs". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
