What is the current thinking on the smbfs/cifs fiasco in 10.2? Like many other people, when I try to use smbmount I get the message:
suillus:~ # smbmount //lactarius/ext-backup mnt Password: ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page smbmnt failed: 255
smbmount worked just fine in previous releases. Some research told me that I should be using cifs instead, and I got this (from a root shell):
suillus:~ # mount.cifs //lactarius/dext-backup.mnt mount error: could not find target server. TCP name lactarius/ext-backup not found No ip address specified and hostname not found
I had same problem smbfs not supported by kernel. Just replaced smb with cifs and it worked as before. Not really a fiasco in my book, I mount loads of Windows drives from all over, not had a problem other than that.
