Mount/map Windows share permanently

sudo apt-get install smbfs

in /etc/fstab :
sudo gedit /etc/fstab

smbmount //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword

if un/pw not needed, use 'defaults'

smbmount //192.168.1.11/WDTV_DATA /wdtv -o username=defaults,password=defaults


===
Note, apparently the above does not work with live/usb boot? Manually:

sudo mkdir /media/wdtv
sudo smbmount //192.168.1.11/WDTV_DATA /media/wdtv -o username=defaults,password=defaults

ls /media/wdtv
df -l
fdisk -l

Shell Script:
===
#!/bin/bash
sudo mkdir /media/wdtv
sudo smbmount //192.168.1.11/WDTV_DATA /media/wdtv -o username=defaults,password=defaults
