I have a windows 2003 server where I have set up an ssh service. Now I want to mount a filer volume there.
I can execute normal commands using ssh on that windows machine from my linux boxes but I can not successfully execute mount/ net use commands. Every time I try it, I get error: The local device name is already in use.
Though I can execute same commands using rsh. Any clue whats wrong here?
Hi Anna,
why are CIFS-shares not sufficient? Would be much easier. Never tried to mount nfs-exports under windows, sorry. Sadly i do not understand the ssh/rsh-thing. But if you say that rsh works but ssh not, have you checked on the filer that "options ssh.enable" "options ssh1.enable" and "options ssh2.enable"??
Also "options ssh.access" is interesting for you.
Regards
Jochen

"Now I want to mount a filer volume there." - Configure Cifs shares (read man page for cifs) or iSCSI for block access. - Update your user profile (login profile) or mount at boot time using autoexe.... with "net use" command. This will enable you to mount/ map those volumes when the system logs on.
You can then ssh from linux box to windows... Its a matter of using "net use" in ur login policy.. cheers

Mukesh, Thanks so much for the response. We are using CIFS shares too but then we are anticipating some performance issues. But still I'll try it as per your suggestions and see how it goes.
Thanks once again.
