Hi
I need to mount a windows share on a CentOS 4.5 box running stock kernel etc - I have tried using cifs and also smbfs
My fstab looks like
//share/name /mount/point smbfs username=user,password=password,uid=useridhere 0 0
or the same using cifs
When i try and mount that i get the following errors depending on the share type
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
i would have thought that cifs was the way forward but any ideas? These use creds are being used on an ancient 7.3 box and they work fine
thanks
This works for me... In /etc/fstab:- //share/name /mount/point cifs _netdev,credentials=/etc/samba/cred.txt 0 0 In the credentials file:- username=your-windows-user password=XXXXXXXXXXX
Make sure the credentials file is owned by root and only readable by root.
Regards,
Ian

i have managed to get this working now using smbfs - there were 2 issues it seems
1 - samba-client was not installed, that was an oversight on my behalf
2 - on the RH7.3 box the domain is not needed for the user but on the CentOS 4 machine something is different in the samba client as without the domain i get an 'Accedd Denied' issue. So for me using smbfs and DOMAIN\username works
thanks

I am using cifs without having the domain on a C4 box. I think something is not right with your setup.

I am using cifs without having the domain on a C4 box. I think something is not right with your setup.
i could not agree more but i do not admin the windows side so they suggested i use the domain and that seems to work for this issue.
We have many domains and i wonder if that causes complexity - either way using the domain works so i am happy with that.
thanks
