Mount smb share

[csteinforth]

Hi there,

 

the attempt to mount an smb-share does not work. The attempt ends with the messages

 

mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

The output of

uname -r

is

 

4.13.16-cubox

cifs-utils are installed.

 

Am I missing something here?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Christoph

Check if you have the kernel module for it :

 

find /lib/modules/ -name "cifs.ko"

[csteinforth]

Thanks for the reply. The command gives the output

 

/lib/modules/4.14.14-cubox/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko

Are there any steps to somehow activate this?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Christoph

This means you are not running the expected kernel since it is there for 4.14.14-cubox, but "uname -a" reported 4.13.16-cubox.

Make sure that the /boot/zImage symbolic link is pointing to proper kernel image.

Thanks for the reply.

 

In /boot I have

 

zImage -> vmlinuz-4.14.14-cubox

 

So this seems to be the correct image. What do I have to do somehow update the image?

 

Thanks in advance,

There a two boot directories:

 

/boot

/boot/boot

 

After the initial installation I moved the root-directory to an usb stick. May this be the problem?

Most probably ... Simply fix that and a reboot will be needed ...
