Unable to mount CIFS share - Not a directory

[picc2001]

Try entering this:

echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled

then mount with CIFS. It worked on my OpenWrt router.

Can you show me the mount command you are using?

mount ....

are you experiencing problems (frezees... instability..)?

I use a set of scripts I've written to mount CIFS. The command generated is essentially:
'mount.cifs //PC_IP_ADDRESS/SHARED_FOLDER /mnt/cifs/MOUNTDIR -o user=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD'. Remove USERNAME and/or PASSWORD if you don't happen to have one.

I think meltyblood's line should read

mount -t cifs //PC_IP_ADDRESS etc.

I put these mount commands into a file which is run as the last event at boot time - see

That's right, although there is a mount.cifs tool that allows you to use my command.
