I'm trying to mount a cifs share from a RHEL5 server to a Fedora 14
machine. I can do this just fine if I go through the GUI in Gnome, but
I need to be able to do this from the command line as well. I'm sure
I'm making a simple mistake, but I can't see it.
I can see the share I want to export (data):
$ smbclient -L servername -U username
Enter username's password:
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28-0.el5.8]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version
3.0.28-0.el5.8)
data Disk Pipeline data
Username Disk Home Directories
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28-0.el5.8]
Server Comment
--------- -------
PIPELINE Samba Server Version 3.0.28-0.el5.8
But when I try to mount it I get:
sudo mount -t cifs //servername/data /mnt/pipeline -o
user=username,password=mypassword
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //servername/data,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
The dmesg error says:
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
..which I thing means 'Invalid argument'?
I've tried various combinations of supplying usernames and passwords,
but can't seem to get anywhere.
Can anyone see what I'm missing?
Cheers
Simon.
