cifs mount error : block device is write-protected, mounting read-only
I ran into an issue while trying to mount a windows' share on an ubuntu server today. I used the following command: mount -t cifs //10.1.2.3/share /mnt/sharewood/ -o username=user,password=pwd And I got this error message: mount: block device //10.1.2.3/share is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: cannot mount block device //10.1.2.3/share read-only Simply installing smbfs did the trick apt-get install smbfs
