fscking samba!

[MaJeztik]

i'm trying to mount a samba share. like I've done a million times....

mount -t smbfs -o username=maj //tsd-support/drivers /mnt/network

mount -o username=maj //tsd-images/images /mnt/network

mount -t smbfs -o username=maj //10.113.10.90/drivers /mnt/network


ALL of the above give this result...

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //tsd-support/drivers, or too many mounted file systems.



Any ideas?

smb is enabled in the kernel. If I take it out of the kernel I get...

smbfs, not configured in kernel..

what are you trying to do? password protect the file over the network?
check the fstab and mtab.
server or client?

im trying to mount a network share.

similar to mapping a network in windows.

but its ok now, i just blew the image away & re-compiled gentoo. Seems to be working fine now.

cat /proc/filesystems will tell you what filesystems your kenel supports.

other than that, that error can be caused by a fair few things.... I find it makes it faster to have the target host in /etc/hosts.

also consider cifs if you have kernel 2.6 or are happy patching 2.4, it works much better connecting to 2k3

I am having a similar problem (I think). I am trying to access a network drive. Other computer is running Win98SE and C: is shared, I'm running SuSe 9.3. I go into SuSe's nifty little "Network Browsing" and go "Add a Network Folder", put in the IP (192.168.0.13) and type in the password and all is working fine. Until I realise I accidentally typed the read-only password and not the full access password. So I delete the link to the network drive and try to add it again, only this time it doesn't give me an option to type in the password, it just puts it there. So I tried re-booting both computers and adding it again, but now when I add it and try to open it, it says "Unknown error condition in stat: Connection timed out" and won't let me access it at all. Not sure how to fix it - any thoughts?

If you look at the date this was posted you'll see that I did a bit of thread necromancy and that maj actually last posted in this thread nearly a year ago....

Is the network share NTFS? From memory mount gives that error if there isn't any NTFS support.

It's an old thread but I had to post in case people had forgotten how a real ,on-topic, technical reply looks like.

doesnt matter, windows exports the 'mounted' filesystem, when you mount something in samba, the client doesnt know what filesystem is used on the server, be it fat16 or ntfs .. , so you just need to have the smbfs stuff installed in the client
