Unable to mount CIFS share
Issue
- We've this Samba share that fails to mount with the following error:
[root@hostname ~]# mount /mnt/folder/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //f.q.d.n/share,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Version 6
