Mounting a directory shared through Samba

by viggy — Categories: Uncategorized — Tags: , Leave a comment

Sometimes it is useful to mount a Samba share to a directory so that the files in the directory can be treated as if they are part of the local file system.

To mount a Samba share to a directory, create create a directory to mount it to (if it does not already exist), and execute the following command as root:

$mount -t smbfs -o , \\\ /mnt/point/

This command mounts from in the local directory /mnt/point/. For more information about mounting a samba share, refer to man mount.smbfs.

story of horseman and life

by viggy — Categories: Uncategorized — Tags: , Leave a comment

Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry, thirsty or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, “Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself.” The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition.
