I'm trying to mount a samba host located at 192.168.2.5. I can ping the host, I can open the share on Ubuntu and windows (with the credentials). When I try to manually connect:

pi@raspberrypi-web-server ~ $ smbclient -L 192.168.2.5 Enter pi's password: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.6] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (raspberrypi-media server) Media Folder Disk Media Folder print$ Disk Printer Drivers Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.6] Server Comment --------- ------- RASPBERRYPI-MEDI raspberrypi-media server Workgroup Master --------- ------- WORKGROUP

I have this line in /etc/fstab:

//192.168.2.5/ /mnt/smb cifs user=maikel,pass=PASSWORD,_netdev 0 0

But whenever I do:

sudo mount -a

I get the following error:

Retrying with upper case share name mount error(6): No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Why doesn't my mount work? I've tried host raspberrypi-media but I got the same error?

Try this:

$ mount -t cifs -o user=maikel,pass=PASSWORD,_netdev \ '//192.168.2.5/Media Folder' /mnt/smb

This should work. Also, try this to make sure you have permissions:

$ smbclient '\\192.168.2.5\Media Folder' -U maikel

Type in your password and type in ls at the smbclient prompt.

    The single quotes did the job. i used an \040 (space) in /etc/fstab and it works! Wow thanks! Commented Mar 5, 2014 at 14:53

the trailing / on "//192.168.2.5/" was the original problem, by the way: share names do not end with a / and you had no share name in there.

You needed this:

//192.168.2.5 /mnt/smb cifs user=maikel,pass=PASSWORD,_netdev 0 0
