Problems Mounting Isilon CIFS shares to Ubuntu
Community,
This is absolutely painful. I have been googling and still cannot find the answer to why I cannot mount to my Isilon CIFS shares?
Isilon info:
| Isilon OneFS [CLUSTERNAME-N] v7.1.0.6 Isilon OneFS v7.1.0.6 B_7_1_0_177(RELEASE): 0x7010050006000B1:Mon Nov 17 09:45:31 PST 2014 | root@sea-build7-01:/b/mnt/obj.RELEASE/b/mnt/src/sys/IQ.amd64.release amd64 |
Ubuntu info:
Linux Ubun-test 3.2.0-77-generic #112-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 10 15:22:22 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Error:
Ubun-test:/$ sudo mount -t cifs //[CLUSTERNAME]/[SHARE] /mnt/[LOCALFOLDER]
Password:
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Any thoughts?
Thank you,

Hi, I saw this post and was curious to know the details of the answer. And realizing that not everyone has access to Salesforce, I'm pasting that answer here from the Salesforce ticket.
The correct syntax for mounting from your Ubuntu client should be similar to the following:
# mount - t cifs // / / -o username= ,dom=
In an example form that looks like:
# mount -t cifs //10.20.4.216/ifs /mnt/ifs -o username=kstag,dom=cslab
It will prompt you for the password after you press enter. If you would like to put this in your fstab then the following should be what your'e looking for:
//cluster/ifs /mnt/ifs cifs credentials=/root/.smbcreds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
Where you'll need to change the '//cluster/ifs' value to your cluster and share. The 'credentials=' parameter specifies a file that contains username, password and domain information so that not just anyone can pull those by looking at your fstab. Here's an example of what you want in that file:
# cat /root/.smbcreds
username=kstag
password=a
domain=a
