smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel

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,
