acme\files\samba\myshare.smb.credentials
and inside put:
username=myuser password=mypassword
I was unable to make it mount an unprotected share..... so just have it protected by username/password.
Then in your acme init.pp read a boolean
$acme_install_sambamyshare = any2bool(hiera('acme_install_sambamyshare', false)),
Create a samba.pp class (file):
# == Class: acme::samba
#
# Manages samba mounts
#
class acme::samba {
if $acme::acme_install_sambamyshare {
file { '/data/myshare/':
ensure => directory,
owner => "soa",
group => 'soa',
mode => '0775',
}
file { '/etc/myshare.smb.credentials': source => 'puppet:///modules/acme/samba/myshare.smb.credentials',
owner => root,
mode => '0700', } ->
mount { 'myshare':
name => '/data/myshare/',
atboot => 'true',
device => '//windowshost/sharedfolder',
ensure => 'mounted',
fstype => 'cifs',
options => "credentials=/etc/myshare.smb.credentials,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777",
require => [Package['samba-client'], Package['cifs-utils'], File['/data/myshare/'], File['/etc/myshare.smb.credentials']],
}
}
}
Don't forget to declare the samba class in your init.pp!
If you do cat /etc/fstab you should see something like this:
//windowshost/sharedfolder /data/myshare/ cifs credentials=/etc/myshare.smb.credentials,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
If you want to do the same thing manually, this is the recipe:
yum install smbclient
//yum install cifs-utils for Ubuntu
/bin/mount -t cifs -o username=someuser,password=somepassword,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //windowshost/sharedfolder /data/myshare/
To remove a mountpoint, use umount:
umount /data/myshare/
it supports also a -f (force) option:
umount -f /data/myshare/
