Mounting cifs qns

khaos83 · 06-06-2008, 03:44 AM

smbfs is replaced by cifs and I have one problem with it.

With smbfs, I will
e.g.

Code:

mount -t smbfs -o username=hero,password=zzz //server/folder /mymount

With cifs,
e.g.

Code:

mount -t cifs -o username=hero,password=zzz //192.168.1.1/folder /mymount

Is it possible to use //server instead of using IP address?

I am able to smbclient it. But cifs does not take in //server, only IP.

Oh ya, I am using openSUSE 10.3

which error are you getting? may be you will add this IP to the host file directly.

Code:

mount error: could not find target server. TCP name server/folder not found

No ip address specified and hostname not found

Adding to a host file maybe a good option...
But my fileserver is using DHCP. That be a problem right?
