From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Edit: I have added the share name at the end of the IP address and now I'm getting mount error(115): Operation now in progress. I haven't figured this one out yet either. My computer IP and the network drive IP are on the same network and within range. Both should be using the same gateway and DHCP.

I have tried just about every combination of parameters possible and nothing is working. It keeps spitting out a meaningless error and that error is the only thing in the log file too. I have tried a 100 different answers from across stack-overflow to no avail.

I'm running the command below:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.50.1/ /mnt/asus -o credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials

and regardless of how many params I have removed it keeps spitting out : mount error(22): Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

I have referred to the manpage and verified that all of the args I'm using are valid. At this point I'm kind of at a loss. Are there file system args I need to add or something?

I can see the disk with all of the sharenames when I run smbclient -L 192.168.50.1, and I can navigate to it in the file browser, but I can't mount it for some reason. I have the workgroup name set under /etc/samba/smb.conf. I have tried enabling and disabling NT1. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it might be spitting out an invalid args error even when I removed every single argument?

There's an outside chance they just don't want to show their username, but yeah OP should make sure they're properly pathing to their creds
