    Hi everybody,
    I have a slight problem with mounting a samba share with the ocs_prerun switch.
    Here is the menu-entry from the grub.cfg:
    menuentry "Test Backup"{
    search --set -f /live/vmlinuz
    fakebios
    linux /live/vmlinuz boot=live config noswap edd=on nomodeset noprompt ocs_prerun1="dhclient -v eth0" ocs_prerun2="sleep 4" ocs_prerun3="mount -t cifs -o user=test,password=1234 //192.168.2.109/isos /home/partimag" ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -q2 -j2 -z1p -i 20000000 -sc -p poweroff savedisk Client2011 sda" ocs_live_extra_param="" keyboard-layouts=de ocs_live_batch="no" locales="de_DE.UTF-8" vga=788 ip=frommedia nosplash
    initrd /live/initrd.img
    }

    The ocs_prerun1 & ocs_prerun2 are working fine. But when running ocs_prerun3 I get the following error:
    error
    http://s7.directupload.net/images/131015/dlfbgr5l.jpg

    It seems to me I'm not using the mount commmand right, but every source I looked at says I should use it as I did.

    Maybe you can help. Thanks in advance

    Additional Information:
    The mount command works fine from command line as su:
    sudo -i
    mount -t cifs -o user=test,password=1234 //192.168.2.109/isos /home/partimag

    I would use additionally
    ocs_prerun4="sleep 2"

    and
    write only in one(!) [append] line, not separated, and with '='

    .. nosplash initrd=/live/initrd.img

    Thank you for your help Fuchs. I tried that, but it didn't work. The problem seems to me (as indicated in the above image) that the mount command isn't passed to the command-line. To reproduce the error message in the picture I only have to enter "-t" at command-prompt. So that's weird.

    But I got it to work anyway by using a custom script file containing the commands given in the ocs_prerun# parameters.

    menuentry "Test"{
  search --set -f /live/vmlinuz
  fakebios
  linux /live/vmlinuz boot=live config  noswap edd=on nomodeset noprompt locales="de_DE.UTF-8" keyboard-layouts=de ocs_live_run="/live/image/live/custombu-2011" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch=no vga=791 ip=frommedia  nosplash i915.blacklist=yes radeonhd.blacklist=yes nouveau.blacklist=yes vmwgfx.blacklist=yes 
  initrd /live/initrd.img
}

    The file custombu-2011 contains basically only the relevant parts:

     1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

    #!/bin/bash
echo "#########################################################################################"

echo "# 1. Netzwerk konfigurieren"

dhclient -v eth0
sleep 2

echo "#########################################################################################"

echo "# 2. Netzwerkshare mounten"

mount -t cifs -o username=TEST,password=1234 //DABO/ISOs /home/partimag
sleep 2

echo "#########################################################################################"

echo "# 3. Image erstellen"

ocs-sr -q2 -j2 -z1p -i 20000000 -sc -p poweroff savedisk Client2011 sda

echo "#########################################################################################"

    I still don't get, why the mount command is not working in the ocs_prerun# parameter, but this workaround is. So I'm happy :)

    Your bash-file is awesome, but it throws error on username, it should be user.
    Also, all those having thos error, try to add ver=2.0 to mount string, this helped me.

    hi,

    I'm also having troubles mounting a SAMBA server from Grub, I would like to try this out but I'm quite newbie and I don't know where should I place the script file... I guess it has to be somewhere in the USB clonezilla live but, where?

    Thanks
