I am running Fedora 7 which has mount.cifs version: 1.10.
This works fine with 'real' Windows XP shared files so it would seem
that it is installed and functional.
However when I try and mount a network hard drive that runs a Samba
server I get the error:-
mount error 20 = Not a directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Searching Google for this error suggests that it's some sort of
incompatibility between mount.cifs and older Samba servers.
I happend to have an old Slackware system which still has smbmount
from Samba Version 3.0.23c, this mounts my share without problems.
E.g. the following works from my Slackware system:-
smbmount //192.168.1.65/chris /freecom -o username=chris,password=xxxxxxx,workgroup=IBMPEERS
but the mount.cifs on my Fedora system doesn't work:-
mount.cifs //192.168.1.65/chris /freecom -o username=chris,password=xxxxxxx,workgroup=IBMPEERS
mount error 20 = Not a directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Is there any sort of workaround for this problem? It would be a real
hassle to get smbmount/mount.smbfs built on Fedora 7. Yes, I know it
would be good if the Network Drive could be fixed to work with CIFS
but I suspect that could be a good long way in the future.
