Question

I need to mount a directory \"dir\" on a network machine \"data\" using python on a linux machine

I know that I can send the command via command line:

mk         


        

Answer 1

I tried this in a chroot without proc mounted

/ # python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Feb 26 2011, 00:09:03) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> from ctypes import *
>>> libc = cdll.LoadLibrary("libc.so.0")
>>> os.listdir("/proc")
[]
>>> libc.mount(None, "/proc", "proc", 0, None)
0
>>> os.listdir("/proc")

You should be able to change the device file from "None" to the format the mount() function expects for network shares. I believe it is the same as the mount command "host:/path/to/dir"
