1 BTC Reward for Linux help [Claimed]

[DavinciJ15]

I am a windows developer that has lost my mind because...  I decide to purchase a script pool script running on Ubuntu Server from http://gbyte.dk and convert it to namecoin mining.... Well that is my objective.

CRAZY? I know.

So far I have NOT even got it up and running for bitcoins but while I was waiting to get support from the company I purchased it from for that part I decided to try and copy over the namecoind files on to the Server.

So its an Ubuntu 11.4 Server thus I can expect to have it 10x harder than any other version of linux.

I could try and learn FTP commands I guess but I thought I will just mount a windows drive.

Well that's what I need help and will pay 1 BTC for as it's not happening

First I tryied this...

Code:

 mount -t smbfs //domain1/myshare -o username=myuser,password=mypass /mnt/win

Error was this...

Code:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //domain1/myshare,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Did some searching and found after a long long time that a package was not installed so I did this...

Code:

aptitude install nfs-common

Then replaced smbfs with nfs and got the error...

Code:

mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format

Did another search and there are many many many solutions and the ones I did try did not work.  Please help and get paid.
(learning command line FTP is looking good right now but I am sure I will have just as many problems)

Thanks

BTW I should have just converted the code to c# and developed my own web site would have been less pain may end up doing that and wasting $400 on this.

When mounting nfs shares, mount -t nfs 192.168.0.123:/home/mydir/

Try that notiation for your Windows share.

That failed, it gave me the help info for mount.

Code:

 mount -t nfs 192.168.5.119:/mnt/win/

I believe you are missing key parts like whats the share name, I assumed /home/mydir/ is the folder to mount to, also I will need to provide a user and password since my share requires it but I left it out knowing full well it would not work with or without it.

Thanks for the post.

Yeah, I only posted the first part, without the options.

I looked it up on one of my Linux boxes.

That one works perfectly fine for me:

/bin/mount -t cifs //192.168.0.123/sharename /mnt/windows -o username=USER,password=PASS

-t nfs works for Linux shares. Windows always has to be special
