Thanks for the reply, I think I didn't make the problem clear enough. |

I have a usb server running on my network with 2 external disks connected to |
| 29 |
it. I can read and write to them using smb://lkg5f.homenet.com/DISK 2/ with |
| 30 |
no problems. |
| 31 |
I need to mount these drives so that I can run a backup script to backup all |
| 32 |
of my gentoo system. I have tried smbmount and mount -t smbfs but even after |
| 33 |
reading man mount and smbmount I am still unclear as to the correct format. |
