Problem scenario: You try to mount a file share with this command:
mount continualintegration.com:/export/path/to /mnt
You get this error:
" mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on continualintegration.com:/export/path/to,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail"
Solution:
#1 Verify there is a space between the two arguments (continualintegration.com:/export/path/to and /mnt).
#2 This next step may install more packages than necessary. But it should help eliminate the problem if you need a quick solution.
