Thread: a mount command works on one computer but not another.

i have seagate goflex home nas drive. primary desktop running ubuntu 12.10 , laptop. following mount statement works on desktop, not laptop.

code:

sudo mount -t cifs -orw,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,username=myuser,password=mysecretpassword "//192.168.100.21/goflex home backup" /home/bpinkston/backup

here error code generates:

code:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.82.21/goflex home backup,       missing codepage or helper program, or other error        (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) might        need /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)        in cases useful info found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail  or so

here dmesg report mount requirement

code:

  [ 3865.446063] cifs vfs: connecting dfs root not implemented yet[ 3865.446132] cifs vfs: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

never mind. installed cifs-utils , script worked fine.

code:

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
