Mounting CIFS shares on Ubuntu with utf8 support (See related posts)

Just a simple reminder how to use the WD MyBook WE with Linux properly.

sudo aptitude install smbfs
sudo mkdir /media/sharename
sudo vim /etc/nsswitch.conf

change
hosts: files dns

to read
hosts: files wins dns


sudo aptitude install winbind


I mount it manually with
sudo mount -t cifs //MyBookWorld/PUBLIC /media/shares/MyBook/PUBLIC -o username=
"vasil",password="MyPassword",iocharset=utf8,uid=vasil,guid=vasil,rw,noperm
