I am running stock DI18 with the MixUp kernel which supposedly supports CIFS. I have been able to install CIFSManager, along with the cifs.ko which I found in another post.

Anytime I attempt to connect to a network share, I get this error:

"Mounting the share has failed with an error. mount: no such device"

I read somewhere that this error can be caused when CIFSManager is unable to write to the mount directory. I have tried multiple directories on both internal memory and the SD card with no luck.

Has anybody else tried this?
I don't use CIFS manager myself..but right in their FAQ they have this:


Most Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: When trying to mount a share I only get an error message saying...
"No such device".

1. A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.
"mounting on failed: No such file or directory"

2. A: Your "Mount Point" simply does not exist and CifsManager is not able to automatically create it for you. As automatic Mount Point creation is not done with su rights, CifsManager can only create Mount Points in directories with permissions 777 or on your SD-Card.

so if your kernel supports it, then maybe its #2..your directory does not have 777 permissions?
