That isn't a bug; this option is provided by cifs-utils so you need to have it installed.

I had set up a credentials file with the username and password in each users account. This worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10, but has not worked since I upgraded to 10.04. I believe the problem is that the mount command in 10.04 does not recognize the credentials keyword. For example, with the following line in my /etc/fstab file: //192.168.0.110/user1 /home/user1/Network cifs credentials=/home/user1/.smbcredentials 0 0 and the following .smbcredentials file in /home/user1: username=user1 password=password1 I get the following error on issuing a mount -a command: user1@User1-Laptop:~$ sudo mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.0.110/user1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Altering the /etc/fstab file to the following works perfectly: //192.168.0.110/user1 /home/user1/Network cifs username=user1, password=password1 0 0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: mount 2.17.2-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.36-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Jun 14 21:44:45 2010 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: util-linux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/594420/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
