mount -a works, fstab doesn't
I have (last 3 lines)
- //storageServer/working.Stan-and-Jeanne.com/Family /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/family cifs credentials=/home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials,exec 0 0
- //storageServer/working.Stan-and-Jeanne.com/OOFrames /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/ooframes cifs credentials=/home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials,exec 0 0
- //storageServer/PicturesMaster /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures cifs credentials=/home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials,ro 0 0
in fstab. /home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials (on this machine) has the userid and password (of the system administrator of storageServer).
I boot the machine and list the contents of /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/family and it is empty, as is /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/ooframes and /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures. I run 'mount -a' and see no errors. I list the contents of /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/family, /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/ooframes and /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures and they all contain the contents that I expected after boot.
storageServer is at 192.168.48.2, this machine is at 192.168.67.48. If I put this machine at 192.168.48.67, same subnet, it makes no difference.
This (fstab) used to work ... sometime before tkLAMP v12. Since I reboot the web server so seldom I just ran 'mount -a' after and sort of forgot about it. But now I'm bringing up a new version and I tripped over this again.
I don't know what to look for. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Stan
