Samba: No such file or directory (BAD_NETWORK_NAME)

[peter_b]

Tried to mount a samba share, and got this error:

mount error(2): No such file or directory

dmesg said:

Code: Select all

kernel: CIFS VFS: BAD_NETWORK_NAME: \\servername\sharename

[SOLUTION]
It was actually so, that the wrong /etc/samba/smb.conf was loaded - so "sharename" was not present.

Make sure that "sharename" is present and accessible in smb.conf.
