Here is the error that I am getting from the test4 LiveCD - |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
livecd root# mount -t smbfs -o username=johnd //x.x.x.x/user /mnt/gentoo |
| 13 |
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported |
| 14 |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //x.x.x.x/user, |
| 15 |
or too many mounted file systems |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If we can do this without Samba, great, but if we can't, we need to |
| 18 |
seriously evaluate adding it to the LiveCD. Earlier, someone in the |
| 19 |
thread posed the question of its importance. SMB shares compose the |
| 20 |
majority of file shares out there, so we should be able to support it |
| 21 |
fully ;) |
