CIFS not supported by the system


Hi there,
i am using Slackware 13.1 with my customize version of kernel:

# uname -a
Linux dash-pc 2.6.33.4 #1 SMP Thu Dec 30 15:28:19 CET 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5670 @ 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I compiled into kernel CIFS module and now i am still not able to mount SAMBA directory.

# mount.cifs //192.168.0.101/music /home/dash/music
Password:
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

# smbmount //192.168.0.101/music /home/dash/music
Password:
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

grep '=y$' /usr/src/linux/.config | grep CIFS
CONFIG_CIFS=y
CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX=y
CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2=y

grep '=y$' /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SMB
CONFIG_SMB_FS=y

# grep '=y$' /usr/src/linux/.config | grep NTFS
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y

# modprobe cifs
# modprobe -r cifs
FATAL: Module cifs is builtin
# modprobe cifs

EDIT: I forgot mention, that with mc i can go to the mount directory, so path is ok.

What's going on? Please help.
Thanks a much!

try not setting smbfs (deprecated) and cifs as built-in but build them as modules, this way smbfs shouldn't get on the way.

- the kernel still gives precedence to smbfs;
- you can't use the two modules at the same time;

so,being both built-in, smbfs always had precedence and the kernel ignored cifs: building them as modules let you choose what you want
