Package: smbfs Version: 3.0.10-1 Severity: normal Hi, mount.cifs manpage states that the option ip accepts an IP or a hostname as parameter. However, when I use a hostname, I get an error:
$ mount -v /mnt/upv/ parsing options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noauto,user,username=cemariz,domain=ALUMNO,ip=mizar.cc.upv.es,iocharset=iso8859-15 skipping empty user mount parameter ip address mizar.cc.upv.es override specified ip address specified explicitly Password: mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//mizar\CEMARIZ$,pass=lfdcnp2,ver=1,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noauto,,,,,,username=cemariz,domain=ALUMNO,ip=mizar.cc.upv.es,iocharset=iso8859-15 mount error 22 = Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) If I replace the hostname with the IP in fstab, then I can mount correctly: $ mount -v /mnt/upv/ parsing options: rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noauto,user,username=cemariz,domain=ALUMNO,ip=158.42.250.40,iocharset=iso8859-15 skipping empty user mount parameter ip address 158.42.250.40 override specified ip address specified explicitly Password: mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//mizar\CEMARIZ$,pass=lfdcnp2,ver=1,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noauto,,,,,,username=cemariz,domain=ALUMNO,ip=158.42.250.40,iocharset=iso8859-15 So maybe you should change the manpage description or change the actual behaviour of the command.
