I tried to mount a volume using cifs as the filesystem type. I am using the cifs 1.02 patch on kernel version 2.4.22. The machine holding the disks is a WinXP Pro machine.
When I use plain vanilla mount with cifs as the filesystem, I get: Mosix4 / # mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/Fukuoka_c /fukuoka/c -o username=Administrator,pass=passw0rd,ro mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.0.3/Fukuoka_c, �������or�too�many�mounted�file�systems But if I use mount.cifs instead, I get: Mosix4 / # mount.cifs //192.168.0.3/Fukuoka_c /fukuoka/c -o username=Administrator,pass=passw0rd,ro No error message, it works! If I substitute the IP address by the name of the machine, it doesn't work. Mosix4 / # mount.cifs //Fukuoka/Fukuoka_c /fukuoka/c -o username=Administrator,pass=passw0rd,ro mount error: could not find target server. TCP name Fukuoka/Fukuoka_c not found��rc�=�9 mount error 22 = Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) I am not really concerned by this last error message, I know why I get it. What really bugs me is why the fist statement doesn't work while the second one does. They are almost the same. What is the subtle difference? Could somebody shed a bit of light of this one? Thanks!
