There is something wrong with mount.cifs - it seems missing:

from the arch mailinglist:

[root@archie nme]# mount -t cifs //kwepeer/geert2 mnt/usb/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //kwepeer/geert2,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so


[root@archie nme]# ls /sbin/mount*
/sbin/mount.cifs /sbin/mount.smbfs
[root@archie nme]# /sbin/mount.cifs
bash: /sbin/mount.cifs: No such file or directory

a reply:

I can confirm this:

[thomas@architect ~]$ ls -l /sbin/mount.cifs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 27 02:07 /sbin/mount.cifs ->
/usr/bin/cifsmount
[thomas@architect ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/cifsmount
/bin/ls: /usr/bin/cifsmount: No such file or directory
[thomas@architect ~]$ pacman -Ql smbclient|grep cifs
smbclient /sbin/mount.cifs
smbclient /sbin/umount.cifs
smbclient /usr/man/man8/mount.cifs.8.gz
smbclient /usr/man/man8/umount.cifs.8.gz
[thomas@architect ~]$

I hope this can be fixed...

Thank you,

After a clean installation of smbclient:

[root@server ~]# ls -la `which mount.cifs`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21128 2005-11-17 11:51 /sbin/mount.cifs

Seems you had it on your system as symlink before. Seems somehow pacman didn't upgrade it correctly. Try to run pacman -S smbclient, if that doesn't help, remove smbclient and reinstall it.
