I am pretty sure my original kernel had cifs built into the kernel. I also have samba installed in the machine. I thought I could give a newer kernel source a try with cifs built as a kernel module. However, modprobe doesn't seem to see it. Perhaps it is already loaded by default? > I sometimes get a bit of hastle from linux when I specify the password on > the command line as well, maybe try leaving it out of the command line > and putting in at the prompt (sounds odd I know, anyone know why this > happens to me?). This is the error message that I get when I do not specify a password. ~ # mount -t cifs //192.168.1.101/temp /mnt/arieltmp/ -o user=transfer Password: mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) Thanks for the advice.
