I hit the same problem on my SuSE10.2. This list advised me to use the standard mount with a type of cifs. (common internet file system?).

I do, as root, something like...:

mount -t cifs //IP/share /mountpoint -o username=myusername,password=mypassword,workgroup=myworkgroup,rw

Hope this is at least a hint :-)

Not everyone supports CIFS. Windows 98 does not, and some SANs do not either. And the CIFS, as in 2.6.18, does not support SMB yet. Deactivating smbfs was not so good, after all. -`J' --

eh, I don't understand... I use my SuSE10.2 (with mount -t cifs and so on...) to mount a couple of shares from a SLES9 box, running SAMBA. Don't you say that "...does not support SMB yet."

Since you did not get it, let's have it in a concrete form: mount -t cifs //windows98/C will _not_ work as of 2.6.18, because (a) windows98 does not do CIFS (b) cifs.ko does not do SMB in 2.6.18. IOW (a) windows98 can only understand SMB (b) cifs.ko can only do CIFS in 2.6.18 <=> Union[a, b] = EmptySet -`J' --

Hi list,

I really don't understand. I got it working just fine on my SuSE10.2 w 2.6.18 I have this script..:

mount -t cifs //172.16.9.100/LNXalles /home/vk/Documents/sun/alles -o username=vk,password=verysecret,workgroup=LINUXGROUP,rw

I run it as root and I get my shares just fine. The server is SLES9 with samba.

A workstation you mean, Windows98 is not really serverstyle ;-)

The definition of server: A box, that SERVES/OFFERS any service. And thus, as soon as you have an accessible share on a Win98 Box, it acts as a typical server inside a network. Long ago are the times where a server was pure server and a client a pure client.

- sorry guys... - I thought SMB was SMB no matter what machine it came from. I actually thought that Win98 was SMB just as well.

An empty ~union~?

Hah. So Intersect[] is the only other possible way. You know, I would have just written a && b and the problem is gone! -`J' -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
