Trying to mount a smb share in Ubuntu 10.10 just fails :(.
I have used the following command:
sudo mount -t cifs //share /mnt/smb/
Looking inside kernel error messages I can see this:
[11502.143801] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
-
I have the feeling that I have used the wrong site :D. Can someone migrate this to superuser.com?– Daniel BăluţăNov 21, 2010 at 20:13

It will get migrated automatically as soon as it receives enough close votes– Paul RNov 21, 2010 at 21:17

Are you using the server name? You need to reference the share by IP address.
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/SharedFolder /mnt/smb
If you want to use dns, you'll need to install mount.cifs which is included in the package cifs-utils.
