    Make sure you use the netbios name instead of the IP address. Enable wins support as outlined under "Pre Work".

    This DOES make a difference.

    Did those settings and restarted networking in /etc/init.d.
    Still the same:

    # mount -a
    mount: mount point does not exist
    mount error 13 = Permission denied
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

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

    Yes. I did try with username='my username'
    password='my password'

    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.

    Thanks now it worked when I removed the ' around '.

    Re: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

    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:

    Code:
    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)
    fstab
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0

    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-08-06 22:57 metroid
    smbtree
    Code:
    rastem@MediaCenter:~$ smbtree
    Password: 
    WORKGROUP
    	\\SINISTAR
    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 server

    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!

    J.

    Heh ... "I hunger!"

    Looks like you've escaped your space incorrectly. Try your fstab line like so:
    Code:
    //sinistar/deep\040space         /media/metroid  cifs    credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,rw,noperm,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
    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.

    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.
