Hi.  I have a strange problem mounting a windows share on my gentoo
box.  I have two windows disks that I can share c and d drive.  If I
write
mount.smb3 //ccs2/c the c drive is mounted.  If I say mount.smb3
//ccs2/d  the system does not complain, but I get the c drive
instead.  In both cases it asks for the password and I give it.

Windows version is 20h2 and samba version is 4.13.4.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Linux doesn't care about "C:/" or anything. Just mount it like you would with any other disk in a Linux based operating system:

```
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows
```

Or whatever device name it is and wherever you may want to mount it.

Just ignore my previous message. I read your message a bit fast. I thought it was a local device.

My apologies!

This is probably irrelevant, but I thought everybody switched from the
samba client to cifs many years ago. Is there some particular reason
you're using samba instead of the kernel's cifs support?

I was using the samba client, but I also tried the cifs using
mount.cifs with the same result.
