Recently this was posted on the PupServer-435 thread.

Samba-TNG started samba server but the drives didn't auto mount, nor would startmount application do it (it keeps saying save the session, for it to work, but I have saved the session, and rebooted multiple times). So I guess if you can tell me how you managed the automount of all drives on each boot. I'll be all set.

Thanks a bunch

To answer this request I have extracted the files from Pupserver-435 and packaged them in server_mount_drives-1.01.pet. I updated my modified /usr/local/bin/drive_all to the latest from Wary-5.2 so its right up to date.

Server_mount_drives will mount all your drives, including usb, at startup and create links to / so they are visible on your client machines as soon as you log in to your Puppy server.

It is designed to be used in conjunction with a samba server such as rcrsn51's excellent Samba-TNG (that's the one I use ).

Unlike PupServer-435 you will need to do a bit of setup: Install a samba server, install server_mount_drives-1.01.pet, but once set up it should give you "the 435 experience."

Nice, thanks.. I look forward to testing with my SAMBA TNG setup

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this application, you are awesome.

It is neither. Once installed it works at bootup, mounting all drives and placing links to them in the / folder. That's it, no menus, no options, no commands, one task and one task only. KISS
