[SOLVED] (yet more) Mounting troubles! Centos7 can't mount a share, that previously was.

Hi, I'm using Centos 7 minimal,

I've had a share mounted in the past, but the credentials it used have expired and I am trying to remount it.

I have arrived this morning to see the shares have disappeared from the output of

Code:

df -h

and the old mount points were still locked. i ran a umount on one of the mount point that had been in use: /mnt/logon. The other is /mnt/dhcp.

I need to mount with credentials so i have run: getting the following error

Code:

# sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myname,password=myp4ssw0rd  \\gb-fs001.a_domain.com:\collector$ /mnt/logon
mount.cifs: bad UNC (\gb-fs001.a_domain.com:collector$)
# dmesg | tail
[4658649.509334] Status code returned 0xc0000072 NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED
[4658649.509338] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -127

I'm not sure why im getting this message any ideas?
I can mount this share in windows no problem, so i know the path is ok.
And there are no special characters in the username/password.
If I don't use the

Code:

-t cifs

and use other filesystem types i get the

Code:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on \gb-fs001.a_domain.com:collector$

SO i'm pretty sure cifs is the one i want but i can't figure out why the bad UNC path error... have i made a typo?

Code:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myname,password=myp4ssw0rd  \\gb-fs001.a_domain.com:\collector$ /mnt/logon

Assuming the path is correct the correct syntax is:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=myname,password=myp4ssw0rd //gb-fs001.a_domain.com:/collector$ /mnt/logon

Thanks, while waiting for the reply I kept trying some variations of my syntax and the following is what eventually worked...

Code:

# sudo mount -t cifs //gb-fs001/collector$ /mnt/logon -o user=myname,password=myp4ssw0rd

The clue that led me to switch from using \ to / in the share path was a forum post showing someones fstab output...
Essentially it showed a nfs share using a path described with

Code:

 \\hostname:\path\to\share /mnt/path

and then a cifs share using

Code:

//hostname/path/to/share /mnt/path
