I have a Samba server up that is not using usernames or passwords. I can connect to it and read/write files to it from a windows machine. I am not able to connect to it via the samba option from a Clonezilla boot disk. Does anyone have any tips on how to get this working?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
couple more things to report… I realized that the IP address in the above example was incorrect, and when I rebooted and tried again, I got an error code = -6 instead of the -113.
I have tried root and regular user accounts, and I can access the samba share from the machine that I am trying to this from when I am booted into XP where I am able to read/write to the samba share.
it must be a software connection thing… any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I just got this working… When you get to select the backup destination, instead of selecting Samba, select Console Shell. Use the failed mount -t cifs command as a guide but replace -o user="junk" with -o guest.
The command I used was:
mount -t cifs -o guest "//192.168.254.254/dirname" /home/partimag
Once this has mounted, type exit and continue with the clonezilla wizard process.
Hope this makes some sense and helps… worked for me.

I got this worked out- no need to respond.
Maybe you can share how you worked that out. :)
Thanks.
