Well, I've actually updated my lab to 10.04 already... I needed some of the improvements it provides. I did test it on that system and the error remains.
Ubuntu 10.04 Kernel Linux 2.6.32-21-generic Gnome 2.30.0 If I remove the "nounix,noserverino" it gives the same issue. so this works mount.cifs //sambashare ~/mountpoint/ -o username="$UN",password="$PW",iocharset=utf8,nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 But this still does not work mount.cifs //sambashare ~/mountpoint/ -o username="$UN",password="$PW",iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 Still gives Value too large error. I tried your terminal command and received this error ' Error connecting to Launchpad: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'makefile' You can reset the credentials by removing the file "/home/username/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials" ' But the folder "apport" is empty.
