How to Map network drives in Linux

Map Samba Drive (SMB drive or CIFS)

First create a directory on linux, better to create it under /mnt if /mnt directory exists, because /mnt directory is for mapping drives. you must not write anything in this directory before creating the map.

Second, prepare your share on the windows server:Make sure that you add the appropriate permissions on the shared directory ( in the directory tab and the sharing tab). example the user (jdoe) is the user who must be used to map the drive. So you must have the user jdoe in your windows server (or in Active directory) and you must add this user to the list of users in the security tab and the sharing permissions tab.

To mount the drive you have to execute the command (where winserver is the name of your windows server , linuxshare is the share name of your windows folder, jdoe is windows username)

cifs is the filesystem type, and it should be used when we map drives from windows

mount -t cifs -o username=jdoe //winserver/linuxshare /mnt/linuxshare

To umount: umount /mnt/linuxshare

Map NFS Drive

How to mount nfs

–mount testa.domain.com:/myshare /mnt/testnfs/

–the name of the server should be exactly the same as the name in exportfs file of the destination server(and it should be the same in hosts)

•Depending on the release, you might need to specify the filesystem type
