Well, not really, but it might help if you post your SuSE version, Kernel version, and 'mount' version. Obvious statement: Perhaps you need to upgrade your version of 'mount'... I've done a quick net search, and I've seen some references to 'smbmount' rather than 'mount'. Perhaps a quick read of the SMB-HOWTO might be useful? -- David Smith Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 (direct) STMicroelectronics Fax: +44 (0)1454 617910 1000 Aztec West TINA (ST only): (065) 2380 Almondsbury Home: 01454 616963 BRISTOL Mobile: 07932 642724 BS32 4SQ Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk

Well, I'm no expert on mounting SMB shares, but... A quick web trawl suggested that there were some problems with some kernels mounting SMB shares, and that some kernel versions required that the minor version number of mount =6 (not >6). e.g. http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9803.1/0476.html I'm unsure whether you should be using smbmount or mount. Someone else on this list is almost certainly more expert than me. Sorry I can't be of more help. You might find more luck searching Google for your error message, or perhaps changing to smbmount as described in the SMB-HOWTO might be helpful. -- David Smith Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 (direct) STMicroelectronics Fax: +44 (0)1454 617910 1000 Aztec West TINA (ST only): (065) 2380 Almondsbury Home: 01454 616963 BRISTOL Mobile: 07932 642724 BS32 4SQ Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk
