I have this line in /etc/fstab
      Code:
//192.168.2.118/Volume_1   /media/ULOZISTE   cifs      credentials=/etc/cifs_pwd,nls=utf8,nounix,noserverino,users,auto   0   0



When I try to mount it from the console I get this:
      Code:
root@desktop-aptosid:/home/petr# mount --verbose /media/ULOZISTE/
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.2.118,unc=\\192.168.2.118\Volume_1,noexec,nosuid,nodev,credentials=/etc/cifs_pwd,nls=utf8,nounix,noserverino,ver=1,user=petr,pass=********
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)


It's not very useful.
I don't understand what I am doing wrong. It used to work. Maybe some changes in a package?

Please try mounting by hand, to pinpoint the issue a bit more - a very simple test succeeds for me:
      Code:
# mount -t cifs -o username=<user> //<server>/<share> /mnt/
add one option after another, until you find the one mount.cifs chokes on.

Also make sure to have cifs-utils >= 2:5.4-2 installed.

Ok, so this is really strange. Even with no argument it shows me the error

      Code:
root@desktop-aptosid:/home/petr# mount -t cifs -o username=petr //192.168.2.118/Volume_1 /media/ULOZISTE/
Password:
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

      Code:
root@desktop-aptosid:/home/petr# apt-cache policy cifs-utils
cifs-utils:
  Instalovaná verze: 2:5.5-1
  Kandidát:          2:5.5-1
  Tabulka verzí:
 *** 2:5.5-1 0
        500 http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2:5.4-2 0
        500 http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
     2:4.5-2+squeeze1 0
        500 http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages
root@desktop-aptosid:/home/petr#
[/code]

      Code:
# mount -t cifs -o username=<remote_username> //<server_name>/<share_name /mnt
works for me, with cifs-utils 2:5.5-1.

Taken from the manpage mount.cifs, the option is user=<remote_username> not username=<remote_username> and works flawly eith the recent cifs-utils.

MOUNT.CIFS(8)
      Code:
Note
               The cifs vfs accepts the parameter user=, or for users familiar with smbfs it
               accepts the longer form of the parameter username=. Similarly the longer smbfs
               style parameter names may be accepted as synonyms for the shorter cifs
               parameters pass=,dom= and cred=.
q.e.d.
