hi experts!

stuck with a "strange" problem, when mounting another Directory from my W2K server, i am getting the following message:

#bdf -tcifs
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
localhost:\\MYSERVER\MYSHARE1
183175160 145119488 38055672 79% /u03/MNT1

#mount -F cifs MYSERVER:/MYSHARE2 /u03/MNT2
Logging in User: You are already connected as user ->yd<-

how do i fix this problem?

thank you in advance for your replies...

regards

Look here.
In Windows you cannot mount the network drive using different users on the same machine.

you will have to "disconnect the drive MYSERVER:/MYSHARE2 "

and then try again.

If your problems persist,logoff and re-login to map the drive.

hi,
thank you for the reply.

does this mean that i cannot have two different folders from the Window 2000 server mounted on my HP-UX server?

Hi Yogeeraj

You can mount more than one share ... but you need to use only 1 user per server to attach to it.

You are looking for a ( for the lack of a better term ) ... a unified user.

hi,

i found that if i unmounted the remote folder and do mountall it worked! (of course i had modified the /etc/fstab accordingly)

problem solved.

thanks anyway.
