from man smbmount:
smbmount
Name
smbmount -- mount an smbfs filesystem
Synopsis
smbmount {service} {mount-point} [-o options]
DESCRIPTION
smbmount mounts a Linux SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smbfs
by the mount(8) command when using the "-t smbfs" option. This command
only works in Linux, and the kernel must support the smbfs filesystem.
Options to smbmount are specified as a comma-separated list of key=value pairs.
It is possible to send options other than those listed here, assuming
that smbfs supports them. If you get mount failures, check your kernel
log for errors on unknown options.
