I am using FC5 on a new server and I need to mount a windows share in
order to do some backing up of a database.
On a Fedora Core 4 box I can issue this command to mount my windows share:
mount -t smbfs //10.64.87.34/backups /mnt/smb/store1/ -o
workgroup=domain1,username=userguy,password=password!
If I issue the same command in FC5 I get the following output:
mount: unknown file system type 'smbfs'
I am at a loss... even the man page indicates that smbfs is a file type...
The weird part is I can use nautilus to mount the share without a
problem, but I need to mount it to the file system in order to run my
script...
Try mount -t cifs instead. That should fix it.
