I'm having mounting difficulties on my (newly acquired) Nokia N810, which
runs a distribution of Linux called "Maemo". Here are some copy-&-pastes.
I'm trying to mount a share "mp3" from my server "pc". I'd like to automate
it using /etc/fstab, but that failed. In the process of debugging I tried
much the same command, manually. These failed, as you can tell from the
error message:
Nokia-N810-43-7:~# mount -t cifs //pc/mp3 /mnt/mp3 -o ro,credentials=/etc/mp3-creds
mount: mounting //pc/mp3 on /mnt/mp3 failed
Nokia-N810-43-7:~# mount -t smbfs //pc/mp3 /mnt/mp3 -o ro,credentials=/etc/mp3-creds
mount: mounting //pc/mp3 on /mnt/mp3 failed
This succeeded:
mount.cifs //pc/mp3 /mnt/mp3 -o ro,credentials=/etc/mp3-creds
Why the discrepancy? Is /bin/mount not in turn executing /sbin/mount.cifs ?
They're in different directories; does that matter? Is there some config
file I need to tweak so mount DTRT?
