Mount Win2k HD in RH8.1 Error 1

[lemkepf]

Hello all,
Well i'm trying to mount a share on my win2k hard drive with RH8.1. Here is the error i'm getting:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //ares/D,
or too many mounted file systems

Here is the command i'm running:

mount -o username=lemkepf,password=********,ip=192.168.0.101 -t smbfs //ares/D /mnt/d

Any thoughts? Here is what i get when i run mount:
/dev/hde3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hde1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

OK, i have a linux guru in here with me, but he's stumped. ANy thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Well ok, here is post no. 40....
The moral of the story goes:
When installing samba on a Redhat Box, do not use the RPM found on RPMfind.net. Instead use the one found on

http://www.samba.org.

This solves many a problems.
Also, the correct command to mount a win2k hard drive in a redhat box over the network is this:

mount -o username=lemkepf,password=*******,ip=192.168.0.101
-t smbfs //ares/aresd /mnt/d

SMBFS is the right type for a win2k NTFS drive. Not NTFS. Note: ntfs will not work.

Smbmount also will work. (note to everyone else: yes, there can be many different variations to this command.)

Once again, Thanks.
