      /smb/mnemosyne /etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne
      
    • Content of the file /etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne:
    • archives    -fstype=cifs,allow_utime=22,umask=002,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne.archives   ://mnemosyne/archives
      backup      -fstype=cifs,allow_utime=22,umask=002,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne.backup     ://mnemosyne/backup
      movies      -fstype=cifs,allow_utime=22,umask=002,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne.movies     ://mnemosyne/movies

      videos      -fstype=cifs,allow_utime=22,umask=002,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne.videos     ://mnemosyne/videos
      
    • Created SMB credential files /etc/auto.smb.mnemosyne.* (see man mount.cifs)
    • Created Symlink:
    • ls /net/mnemosyne
      sudo mkdir -p /mnt/mnemosyne
      for i in /net/mnemosyne/volume1/*; do sudo ln -s $i /mnt/mnemosyne/$(basename $i); done
