Have you tried mounting it inside /media?

thank you Nathan, i have been using TC daily since v3 and find it indispensable, so being able to use it on my n900 is a marvelous.

anyone have any idea how long before it will show up in Extras (or whatever the default maemo5 repo is called)?

A few things to check oweng:

1. Make sure it's in /home/user. You can't execute anything from /home/user/MyDocs due to permissions issues.
2. Check the filename: did you save it as "cifsmount.txt" by any chance?
3. Make sure you're in the right directory. Before trying to chmod the file or execute the script, run "ls -l" and make sure you see cifsmount.

    mountparentdir="/media/Remote_Filesystems"
    if [ -d $mountparentdir ]; then
        echo -e "$mountparentdir found."
    else 
        echo -e "Creating $mountparentdir"
        mkdir $mountparentdir
    fi
fi
#requote variables to escape special characters
servername=$(printf '%q' "$servername")
serverip=$(printf '%q' "$serverip")
sharename=$(printf '%q' "$sharename")
username=$(printf '%q' "$username")
password=$(printf '%q' "$password")
mountpoint=$(printf '%q' "$mountpoint")
#check for mountpoint and create it if it doesn't exist
if [ -d $mountpoint ]; then
    echo -e "Mount point already exists - will attempt to use."
else 
    echo -e "Creating mountpoint $mountpoint"
    mkdir $mountpoint
fi 
echo -e "Attempting to mount //$servername/$sharename at $mountpoint"
#Run the mount command
if [ "${username_orig}" != "" ]; then
    mount -t cifs //$servername/$sharename $mountpoint -o user=$username pass=$password ip=$serverip
else
    mount -t cifs //$servername/$sharename $mountpoint -o ip=$serverip
fi
#chown mountpoint to user
chown -R user $mountpoint
echo -e "To unmount this share, run umount $mountpoint as root"
There are problems with this script: it doesn not work in wizard or non-wizard mode.
It seems it can't get user input: for instance, it prints "Attempting to mount /// at ", as if I input an empty string (I obviously typed the correct values. In addition, it actually doesn't create the mountpoint folder: it always return (folder_name) found, even if it doesn't exsist.

You should check whether variables are correctly used and what's theyr actual value.

hi nathan thanks for the quick response.
The file explorer does not navigate out of /home/user/Mydocs
so if tc vol is mounted on /media , i can only access my files in tc using xterm.

btw what is the command for launching the default media player
because mplayer can play the files in the mounted vol in xterm
and i dont want to keep mplayer. (waiting for optified version)

any help appreciated

Should show up in Extras-Devel / Extra-Testing today. ;-)
I've finished creating the package / debian stuff so that it can build it. Just doing final tests. ;-)

Nathan.

Actually this is untrue; the built in File Manager will navigate to anything inside the /media folder. ;-)

It is considered the "root" folder. So if you use the up arrow, the final location will be listing what is in the /media folder. (Hence the reason why the cifsmount script, and wizard mounter uses it as the base location to mount file shares)
