In troubleshooting why I couldn't mount an ncpfs filesystem from /etc/fstab, it appears that a symlink pointing mount.ncpfs at ncpmount is missing. Manually creating the symlink allowed me to mount my ncpfs filesystems via mount -a. Looks to me like this was a simple oversight. Something similar to this section of the Samba ebuild should be added for ncpfs: dosym /usr/bin/smbmount /sbin/mount.smbfs Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ncpfs 2. Set up /etc/fstab to mount an ncpfs filesystem 3. mount -a Actual Results: mount -a produces this result: mount: Channel number out of range Expected Results: Should have mounted my ncpfs filesystem. As pointed out, a simple symlink fixes the problem. This problem is minor but potentially frustrating. I'd guess most people use ncpmount to mount their Netware servers, but I could be wrong.
fixed with -r2
