csteinforth Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 martinayotte Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Check if you have the kernel module for it : find /lib/modules/ -name "cifs.ko" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 csteinforth Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 martinayotte Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 csteinforth Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 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, Christoph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 csteinforth Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 martinayotte Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Most probably ... Simply fix that and a reboot will be needed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
