mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system

Post by soportemodemat » 2021/09/09 23:12:23

Hello guys

I am facing a problem trying to mount a cifs share and using the mellanox drivers because of the infiniband cards that I have. Then when I try to mount the cifs share with the command below I get that error shown below:

mount -vvvvvvv -t cifs -o username=user,password=password,vers=2.0 //<ip-ns>/user /media/tmp

mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=<ip-ns>,unc=\\<ip-ns>\user,vers=2.0,user=soportemodemat,pass=**********
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) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

I have tried with versions 1.0 and 3.0 too but I got the same error. I can provide the next information for you to give any idea to solve this issue please:

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.4.2105

Quick question: have you installed the cifs-utils package?
dnf info cifs-utils

That appears to show the cifs module supplied by the CentOS kernel has been replaced by one from Mellanox. You'll need to ask them why it doesn't work.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi TrevorH

Thank you so much. I am sending the same question to Mellanox forums.
