So I have FreeNAS running samba shares on my network, for the most part I really don't need to access the data on my actually Linux boxes - only my HTPC.
But I decided I wanted to create mount point on the media folder of my Ubuntu install.
So here is what I had to do in fstab (/etc/fstab)
//freenas_server/sharename /media/localsharedirectory cifs credentials=/home/macleod/smb.credentials,uid=mountuser,gid=mountgroup,iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp437,auto 0 0
My credentials are stored in smb.credentials, like so:
username=myuname
password=mypwd
And I got most of the information from here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2640&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=nfs+ubuntu
Obviously replace mountgroup, mountuser with your ubuntu username and group (group is probably the same as name). Also replace the appropriate shares and credentials - hopefully you get the picture.
UPDATE:
I edited the fstab entry so I now define the iocharset and codepage, this is so foreign characters are displayed correctly in the filesystem, and applications. I noticed the issue due to having display issues in iSub and Subsonic.
UPDATE2:
The DOS Charset should be CP437 - CP850 is missing a few which I needed for foreign language music artists.
