mount error with CIFS

Sylak · 08-17-2006, 01:20 PM

Ok, so ive been trying to mount a CIFS share from a WinXP box that i have with all my music, and used teh mount command like so

Code:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=kids,password=[password] //192.168.254.5/MUSICA/ /home/sylak/netmusicdeadbabies

and get the following error returned

Code:

mount: //192.168.254.5/MUSICA/ is not a valid block device

And, after searchign ia google, ive still not found a good answer to what this is and how to fix it.

i would guess that the end / is wrong. the share name itself does not have a slash, so the error message is correct.
