Sounds like my problem with a Freecom network drive (which is an SMB
server).
Try the following (as root) on your Linux client:-
modprobe cifs
echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
mount /mountPoint
Where /mountPoint goes with an entry in /etc/fstab like:-
//winmachine/share /mountPoint cifs noauto,user,password="" 0 0
You can of course put the full mount.cifs command on the command line
and not bother with the /etc/fstab entry.
