mounting networked drive via terminal
Hello
I ordered an SSD for my macbook pro yesterday, which I was planning on installing when it got here today. I use a shared folder on a windows PC for time machine, and after backing up over the network for the last time last night I decided to pop my os x disk in to make sure that I knew how to restore once I had the new hard drive in.
Well I was able to connect to my wireless network, but when I choose restore using time machine, the button "connect to network drive" is greyed.
I think I need to mount the drive via the terminal, but I've been unable to do that. In OSX i was connecting to smb://192.168.1.102 and mounting the "MacBook Pro Time Machine" share(I since added a share simply named "mbptm" to avoid spaces. I opened a terminal, and made a directory /Volumes/TimeMachine, this seemed to work. I then tried:
# mount -t smb smb://192.168.1.102/mbptm /Volumes/TimeMachine
This gives the error:
mount: exec /System/Library/Filesystems/smb.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_smb for /Volumes/TimeMachine: No such file or directory
I tried with afp instead of smb (which I dont think will work because its an NTFS windows drive) and got:
AFPMountURL returned error -1069, errono is -1069
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it. I don't have an external hard drive handy. The computer name of the windows PC is MEDIACENTER-PC, and the share gives access to "Everyone", so no username/password should be required
