SAMBA:- How to fix CIFS Error Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock

Test Case:- We have tried to mount the samba share from the Linux samba-client box.


 [root@san-client ~]# findsmb

                                *=DMB

                                +=LMB

IP ADDR         NETBIOS NAME     WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION

[root@san-client ~]# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.113/noc /mnt -o user=sai1

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.113/noc,

       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 or so.

[root@san-client ~]#


Solution:-

[root@san-client ~]# rpm -qa |grep cifs

[root@san-client ~]#


[root@san-client ~]# yum install cifs-utils

.....

.....

  Installing : cifs-utils-6.2-10.el7.x86_64                                                                                          1/1

  Verifying  : cifs-utils-6.2-10.el7.x86_64                                                                                          1/1


Installed:

  cifs-utils.x86_64 0:6.2-10.el7
