Bug#663140: nautilus: CIFS mounted shares appear twice in tree-view pane

[Ulrich Krause]

Hi Alexander,

for me a trailing slash for the source did the trick, so you may try

$ cat /etc/fstab
//slug/nfs/ /media/slug cifs rw,sec=ntlmv2,user=nfs,password=xxx 0 0
#this one ^

As far as I got it, the mtab entry receives the slash automatically 
while mounting, resulting in different entries in mtab and fstab. And 
that causes further confusion, because the fstab entry can still be 
mounted, resulting in multiple entries for the same source/directory 
pair. I neither know if adding this slash while mounting is a bug, nor 
which package is responsible. But I thought the slogan "It's not a bug, 
it's a feature !" had a Microsoft copyright.

I am using the following options in fstab:

//host/share/ /mnt/point cifs noauto,user,credentials=/path-to/cred_file

where cred_file contains three lines (NO spaces around the "=" sign !):
username=<user>
password=<pw>
domain=<dom>

Without the "noauto" option the source gets mounted by root. The "user" 
in the credentials file is ignored (another bug ?).
The "user" (or "users") option is necessary to display the unmounted 
share in nautilus. The mounting happens at the first click.


I hope this was helpful.
Ulrich
