do your windows username or password contain spaces or other unusual characters?

Try it without the ' around it. The credentials file does not support usernames or passwords with leading spaces, but the man file doesn't say anything special about spaces in any other location.

Hey dmizer,
I've read through a lot of this forum, and saw a lot of great help, thanks for helping all us ubuntu babies out.
I've run into a problem with mounting windows vista shares. I'm on hardy.
I've followed the step-by-step, having installed smbfs and have wins support. Still, when I try to mount my windows share permanently I get this error:
fstabCode:rastem@MediaCenter:~$ sudo mount -a retrying with upper case share name mount error 6 = No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Sinistar is the name of the vista computer. I can ping via wins and IP, and I can also connect to the folder via Places -> Connect to serverCode:rastem@MediaCenter:~$ smbtree Password: WORKGROUP \\SINISTAR
Am I missing something obvious? I've seen a lot of folks talking about different errors, but not much on error 6. It's either something wily, or cockpit error on my part, but I wanted to throw it up here.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Heh ... "I hunger!"
Looks like you've escaped your space incorrectly. Try your fstab line like so:
If that doesn't work, try creating a new test share without a space in the directory name, and see if you can connect to that.Code://sinistar/deep\040space /media/metroid cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,rw,noperm,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
It would so help if little things like this were standardized so that %20 always worked, or \040 always worked.[/rant]

That did the trick, you are my hero!
Nowhere in my research did I find that spaces could cause this issue, though I had a sneaking suspicion it had to be that since 'no such device or address' kept hinting at me that it was something like that.
Thanks so much for the easy-to-follow walkthrough and your help! I can't wait to hit up amarok now.
