Just cifs doesn't do what smbfs did: mounting my netdrive. It continually comes up with an error 20: not a directory. This error is totally besides the point, it just shows that cifs doesn't support all networkdevices. In 10.1 smbfs didn't have the problems cifs has. My guess is that smbmount requires kernel support for smbfs. Theo. Marcus Meissner wrote:

Dear all,

Sorry to be late, but just recently installed 10.3 and I found that smbmount had been left out from the kernel.

I used to work with 10.1 which had smbmount included, but I wasn't able to mount my net-drive with 10.3 due to the lack of smbmount in the kernel. Since my net-drive doesn't mount with cifs (all kinds of errors) but does mount with smbfs, I wished Suse 11.0 would support smbfs again (like with 10.1).

Thanks for the great product, looking forward to the releas of 11.0!

It's almost certainly too late to make a major change to the 11.0 kernel. For 11.1 it could be considered.

smbfs was dropped ... and will not come back. It has been replaced by cifs in the kernel.

However, it is totally unrelated to the userland smbmount program I think.
