mount.cifs Not Working In antiX 21 32-bit

[Member rfinco]

I have 3 antiX 21 PCs that I use, 1 64-bit and 2 32-bit PCs. When I try to use mount.cifs to connect to Samba shares on other network systems, the 64-bit PC connects just fine, but the 32-PCs both fail to connect with “mount error(95): Operation not supported”. This seems to be a 32-bit issue, and I can’t make any sense out of the error message.

Session from 64-bit PC that connects OK:

The 32-bit PCs show Samba shares, and allow making connection to those shares from other PCs OK.

Looks like some kind of protocol mismatch.
Maybe you need to specify the samba version in the mount command, e.g.
mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,vers=3.0 ...
Which SMB protocol version runs the server side? The different protocol versions aren’t compatible.
SMB 2.0 was introduced by Vista/2008
SMB 2.1 by Win7/2008R2
SMB 2.2 aka 3.0 by Win8/2012
SMB 3.02 by 8.1/2012R2
And maybe your 32bit client is still running on Ver 1.0, but I don’t know which protocol version the 32 bit antiX 21 supports.

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.

Hello Robin,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Adding “-o vers=3.0” to the mount command solved the problem.

example:
# mount.cifs -o vers=3.0 //192.168.1.xxx/share-folder ~/mount-point-folder

You were absolutely right. Seems I had tried everything except the “-o vers=3.0” option, including 1.0 & 2.0.

What threw me off was the fact that I didn’t need to specify a version option when mounting in 64-bit antiX or any of my 64-bit PCs.

Thank you very much for the help.

rfinco..
