I think mount doesn't handle the windows style //host/path specification, or it may require it a different way.

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?
