So I use this to mount my drive in /etc/fstab:
//192.168.1.100/Volume_1-1 /media/stg5 smbfs username=admin,password=XXXX,uid=1000,iocharset=ut f8,unicode 0 0
From one computer (Linux Mint) it mounts fine, but not from the Ubuntu machine. What should I try next?
Synaptic tells me smbfs is installed.
Does it matter that it is mounted from one place already for admin, and I can not login at the same time with another admin? (I tried to unmount the drive from Mint, and it still does not mount to Ubuntu. So maybe this is not the problem.)
All it says is:
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
How can I manually try this mount from terminal? I forgot, it might give better picture what is happening.
EDIT: /var/log/kern.log says:
Oct 13 00:25:38 xbmc-htpc kernel: [115819.385132] CIFS: Unknown mount option "unicode"
So I am looking for that option now
