SOLVED Mounting a CIFS in Ubuntu Server 16.04

[Robert C.]

I am running into an issue. I can't mount a cifs share on FreeNAS on my server. Keep getting this error

robert@ubuntu-srvr:~$ mount.cifs //192.168.1.103/mnt/MEDIA-1 /mnt/TELE

mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /mnt/TELE found in /etc/fstab

I have tried several different approaches suggested by several searches on the internet. Im Stuck.


FreeNAS is on a DELL PE 2950 Stable and no issue with other machines (MAC & Windows)

CIFS presents its share by a single name. Unless your share name is 'mnt' your command will always fail no matter what.

So my correct syntax should be:?

mount.cifs //192.168.1.103/TELE /mnt/TELE

since my shared cifs folder name on NAS is TELE

and mounting to local machine "/mnt/TELE" folder?

I am somewhat new to command line based servers.

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks for the correction, also it occurred to me that the "folder name" was TELE, the share was Television. once I corrected that.....
BINGO!

Thanks AGAIN!
