smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel

[HeSitated]

Can somebody give me some assistance?

I'am trying to copy files from my old LaCie NAS to my new Bubba Two.

The command executed:

Code: Select all

mount -t smbfs -o username=someone,password=*** //192.168.2.3/data /mnt/lacie

But the system keeps complaining:

ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255

The funny thing is that the Midnight Commander can show me the server and it's content...

Ideas?

log in to your bubba two
$ ssh user@bubba

become root
$ su

install smbfs
# apt-get install smbfs

try your mount again

I tried it before my posting...

But because I'm not the laziest....

# apt-get install smbfs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
smbfs is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

That's why it is for me so strange...

Hi,

Have you tried mounting with the cifs fs ? I believe smbfs doesn't work anymore with the newer kernels

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs -o username=someone,password=*** //192.168.2.3/data /mnt/lacie

HTH,
