This error is actually described in the gentoo-wiki page just under that |
| 31 |
command example: '*Warning:* Recent versions of "mount" don't support |
| 32 |
forward slashes in UNC path names as shown above -- you must use |
| 33 |
backslashes.' |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
However, forward slashes are working for me with samba 3.0.28 and util-linux |
| 36 |
2.13-r2. |
