ERROR: smbfs file system not supported by kernel
Please refer to smbmnt (8) manual page
smbmnt failes 255
I can stil create shares that are seen from windows machines. I was able
to create and link to shares form Linux to windows via webmin in all
previous linux'es I've used namely RH8, RH9, FC1 - all tests and final.
Am I missing something? is that kernel feature off due to testing or ...?
The Linux 2.6 kernel has replaced smbfs with cifs, which is more
featureful, less buggy, and has an active maintainer. Read the
mount.cifs manual page, then change your /etc/fstab entry
appropriately.
