Have you tried to run

Code:

slackpkg install-new

and see if you missed a package during upgrading?
Have a look on CHANGES_AND_HINTS to verify whether the new additions have been installed on your system

smbfs is deprecated, you should use cifs.

here I got this in /etc/fstab

Code:

//192.168.100.100/share /media/share cifs user=myuser%mypassword,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0

CIFS, I take it I'll need this on my server(slak 12.x) as well

thanks for the reply

consider that cifs is a kernel module, so with older kernels than the one on slackware-14.0, 3.2.29, it depends on which modules you have available (the two, cifs and smbfs, are mutual exclusive).

thanks ponce,

Code:

//192.168.100.100/share /media/share cifs user=myuser%mypassword,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0

this worked.
