Thread: 11.10 Issue with connecting to SAMBA share


ok. works in chromium, know must missing simple....

i've installed smbfs.

made directory structure...

/media/samba/homes

i've edited /etc/fstab file follows....

//10.10.1.1/homes /media/samba/homes cifs credentials=/etc/.smbcreds,_netdev 0 0

i've made file /etc/.smbcreds (information removed safety)

domain=<mydomain>
username=<myusername>
password=<mypassword>


made sure uid , gid on ubuntu machine matches what's on samba server.

...and try (as root here) mount share (again, removed info)

mount --verbose homes
domain=<mydomain>
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.10.1.1,unc=\\10.10.1.1\homes,credentials=/etc/.smbcreds,ver=1,user=<myusername>,domain=<mydomain >,pass=********
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported system
mount error(19): no such device
refer mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

see here, is indeed reading .smbcreds file fine, know that's not issue.

what's interesting, don't see connection on samba server. also, if use smbclient, can see what's in share.

i've google'd crap out of , i've run out of ideas. got better idea?

instead of smbfs installed cifs-utils. far know, smbfs obsolete.
