Mount Windows share on host

[Dranizz]

I had a script on a 3.5 host but now the mount command does not work since I upgraded to VSPhere.

mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator/mydomain,password=whatever //server1/SharedFolder /home/mountpoint

The command now returns this error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //server1/SharedFolder,

missing codepage or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

dmesg | tail or so
