fstab syntax

Post by gw1500se » 2020/04/27 17:38:37

I need some new eyes as I am not seeing the error. I am trying to mount a CIFS share that will be rw for everyone. When I try to mount it I get an "Invalid argument" error.

//192.168.10.110/Backups /Backups cifs defaluts,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000,credentials=/etc/security/fstab.EAP 0 0

Can someone spot my error? TIA.

defaluts should be defaults and the contents of credentials=/etc/security/fstab.EAP should be:
user=username
password=password

Thanks. I knew I was missing something dumb. Unfortunately after correcting the spelling, I get the same error. Should the credentials file be one line or 2 or does it not matter?

I'm thinking it is something on the windows side because if I leave out the credentials and let if prompt, that error occurs after entering the password.

Credentials file is one line per parameter, no leading spaces

Also, are you really sure you want to use umask=000?

Do you have the cifs-utils package installed?

My apologies. This is technically the wrong forum. The problem is on Raspberian not Centos.
