KB-1462: Unable to mount a share using the command "mount -t cifs"
Applies to: Centrify-Enabled Samba 3.3.9-4.3.1 on all platforms
Problem:
Centrify-Enabled samba fails to mount a cifs share, when the command "mount -t cifs -o username=<username> <share> <mount point>" is ran throws an error:
mount: block device //192.168.159.10/public is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: cannot mount block device //192.168.159.10/public read-only
Running "mount -t smbfs ..." succeeds.
Causes:
This is due to the missing sym link for /sbin/mount.cifs
Workaround:
Manually create the symlink /sbin/mount.cifs to point to /opt/centrify/samba/sbin/mount.cifs
