[PROBLEM] Samba mount seems to work but fails

[Tim Curtis]

To troubleshoot, try mounting manually. Change vers=1.0 to 2.0, 3.0, etc if needed. Change username and password if needed.

Code:

sudo mkdir ./test

sudo mount -t cifs "//HOST_OR_IPADDR/SHARE_NAME" -o username=guest,password='',rsize=61440,wsize=65536,iocharset=utf8,vers=1.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 "./test"

ls ./test

sudo umount ./test
sudo rmdir ./test

You can also try the command below to list Samba shares discovered on your network

Code:

smbtree -N -b
