Re: Mounting a Windows share on Sarge lite

If you are mounting a windows share on any NT or XP boxes, you will have to
give a valid username/password. Try something like this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=blueboy,password=foobar //server/share /mnt/share

That might be your problem.

Hello all,



I've installed Sarge (Debian testing) on a computer I intend to become part
of a cluster and thus have no desktop, just the bare minimum "base-config"
would let me (kernel 2.4 for i386). I also used aptitude to install samba.
I'm trying to mount a share on a Windows computer (that I can successfully
ping) using the command:



mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/share



gives me the error,



smb_read_super: missing data argument

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //server/share or too
many mounted file systems



Any ideas?

Also I recommend using the smbmount tool so that you can mount the share
from an unprivliged account. The debian package is smbfs. The manpage
for smbmount is really nice too.
