If you use `mount` with the "-t smb" or "-t smbfs" option and get going,
you can add the same mount-options in /etc/fstab to be mounted on boot.

Be noted, this might need readable passwords in /etc/fstab

There is one more way to mount it when system come up , You can make the
entry in /etc/rc.local (command which you use to mount the win partition in
linux box) . This should work

Let me know if you find even a better way to do this .

The /etc/auto.whatever files specified in the auto.master file take
normal mount options as the second argument (comma-separated). The
first argument is the "key" (think mount directory, under the "master"
mount directory specified in auto.master) and the last argument is the
path to the (presumably remote) filesystem. Here's a cifs example (cifs
= smb, only newer; cifs is recommended, unless your kernel is so old
it's not supported):

windows1 -fstype=cifs,
://hostname/sharename

The only "tricy" part is that leading colon. The "credentials" option
just gets passed to mount (and then to mount.cifs or mount.smb), it
allows you to put the password in a separate file that's readable only
by root. If the line above was in "auto.windows" and the line below
appeared in auto.master:

/windows /etc/auto.windows

then the example above would mount the share 'sharename' on host
'hostname' in the directory /windows/windows1, and read the login
credentials from the file /etc/smbmount.hostname. TADA!

This is all documented in the autofs, mount, and mount.cifs man pages,
btw. ;-)

Cheers.

Hi,

Check the manual pages of fstab and follow the instructions there.
