[gentoo-amd64] latest SAMBA problem

[gentoo-amd64] latest SAMBA problem

[Mark Haney]

I've just updated to the latest Samba version and now my CIFS mounts
bomb with this error:


mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
//192.168.10.9/noc-shares, missing codepage or other error

My mount command is pretty simple (in a shell script) just the mount
with a username and password, nothing fancy.  I originally had a umask
in the command, but that seems to have been deprecated.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do you specify a codepage? Maybe it became mandatory now.

The codepage problem may be you don't have the correct codepage compiled
in the kernel or the module is not loaded.

Also, I did see something in IRC that cifs is now a separate package in
gentoo, so you may want to try and (re) emerge net-fs/mount-cifs.

I never saw this error before and I've not updated kernels in over a
month.  So unless this was a required option now, I don't think that's
the problem. I will however, re-emerge the mount package to see if that
fixes it.  I ran a ton of updates last night, and I don't remember
seeing mount-cifs as an update, but I could be wrong.

Weird, I didn't have mount-cifs installed at all on my system, so when I
emerged it, everything came up roses.  Thanks for the heads up.
