a comma ',') will fail to be parsed correctly on the command line.

Note that a password which contains the delimiter character (i.e. Indirectly via an argument to mount, mount.cifs will prompt for a password, unless the guest option is specified. If the password is not specified directly or If this option is not given then the environment variable PASSWD is used. password= arg specifies the CIFS password. Longer smbfs style parameter names may be accepted as synonyms for the shorter cifs parameters pass=, dom= and cred=. The cifs vfs accepts the parameter user=, or for users familiar with smbfs it accepts the longer form of the parameter username=. 'user%password' or 'workgroup/user' or 'workgroup/user%password' to allow the password and workgroup to be specified as part of the username. If this is not given, then the environment variable USER is used. User= arg specifies the username to connect as. Modinfo cifs command displays the version of cifs module. Mount.cifs -V command displays the version of cifs mount helper. After mounting it keeps running until the mounted resource is unmounted (usually via Mount.cifs causes the cifs vfs to launch a thread named cifsd. Unrecognized cifs mount options passed to the cifs vfs kernel code will be logged to It is possible to send options other than those listed here,Īssuming that the cifs filesystem kernel module (cifs.ko) supports them. Options to mount.cifs are specified as a comma-separated list of key=value pairs. Server name or IP address and 'share' is the name of the share) to the local directory mount-point. The mount.cifs utility attaches the UNC name (exported network resource) specified as service (using //server/share syntax, where 'server' is the Servers and many other commercial servers and Network Attached Storage appliances as well as by the popular Open Source server Samba.

The CIFS protocol is the successor to the SMB protocol and is supported by most Windows Only works in Linux, and the kernel must support the cifs filesystem. It is usually invoked indirectly by the mount(8) command when using the '-t cifs' option. Mount.cifs mounts a Linux CIFS filesystem. This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.
