mounting a drive from my NAS (Netgear ReadyNAS Duo)

[neilcoza]

Hi,
I am trying to mount a share from my NAS onto my laptop with the following command

mount //nas-f9-9f-b1/media /home/neil/smb4k/media -t smbfs -o username=admin,password=torincaleb -o gid=user,dmask=777,fmask=777,rw

I get the following error

localhost klogd: smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.37 kernel. Please migrate to cifs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //nas-f9-9f-b1/media,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

I have tried to use smb4k it sees the workgroup (WEBCOZA) and the host NAS-F9-9F-B1 but if I click on it it comes back with nothing. I have a desktop which is running the same version of PCLINUXOS (the latest) and SMB4K works fine.

Please help. How do I mount the share

do what the error msg advises, change "smbfs" entry in that line to "cifs" and try again and report back if it still doesnt work.

mount //nas-f9-9f-b1/media /home/neil/smb4k/media -t cifs -o username=admin,password=torincaleb -o gid=user,dmask=777,fmask=777,rw
WARNING: 'dmask' not expressed in octal.
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'dmask' is deprecated. Use 'dir_mode' instead.
WARNING: 'fmask' not expressed in octal.

Why does it not work in SMB4K?
When I go to Control Center, network sharing, access windows smb shared drives, the NAS is recognised but not accessible
