Created attachment 213507 [details] mount script I've written a short mount script for fusefs-smbnetfs to allow it to be used from /etc/fstab. I'd like (if possible) to get it added to the sysutils/fusefs-smbnetfs port to allow others to use. I know in the traditional sense that smbnetfs is supposed to be run per-user, but this would allow all users and processes to be able to use SMB shares. It does require configuration for fstab to be place in /.smb with the smbnetfs.conf, smbnetfs.auth (not required) and a copy of smb.conf (not required as defaults will be used). I've put this config in /usr/local/etc/smbnetfs and created a symlink to /.smb. It's possible to use the `-o config=/path/to/smbnetfs.conf`, but smbnetfs throws a warning about not being able to find smb.conf as it will be looking for it in $USER/.smb. Maybe this is something smbnetfs can be patched to handle. The attached script is placed into /usr/local/sbin/mount_smbnetfs. The line to add to /etc/fstab to use the script would then be: smbnetfs /smb smbnetfs rw,late,failok,allow_other,mountprog=/usr/local/sbin/mount_smbnetfs 0 0 This would then create /smb as a special mount, allowing all users to browse SMB shares, for example: cd /smb/user:pass@host/share If the smbnetfs.auth file is present and configured, then browsing to /smb/host/share would work.
The current smbnetfs itself can be used in fstab with the following trick: -oallow_other /smb fusefs rw,allow_other,failok,uid=105,late,direct_io,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/smbnetfs That is, instead of "smbnetfs", the first column can contain simply one of the command-line options... Your approach makes the fstab-entry look better, but is it worth the trouble of implementing at all? And, if it is, the options-parsing code inside smbnetfs itself should, probably, be patched instead. As for your particular implementation, it would seem that $OPTS ends up containing all of the options in one argument -- instead of there being multiple arguments... Also, the last line should begin with exec. I'd do something like this (not tested): SMBNETFS=%%PREFIX%%/bin/smbnetfs if [ $# -gt 1 -a -n "${1##-*}" ] then shift # Skip the non-option argument, if there are more than one fi exec $SBNETFS "$@"
(In reply to Mikhail Teterin from comment #1) The 'trick' is kind of kludge and took me a long time to Google the solution, where I found it at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2018-February/025800.html. I thought I would try to simplify it and save others from having to Google for a solution by asking for it to be included since it's not documented anywhere.
