December 16, 201213 yr I'm running 5rc8a as a VM in ESXi. I can see the flash drive from my windows desktop, so it's shared, no doubt about it, however, when I try to mount on linux it doesn't work (running linux server 12.04 x64) trying to mount with sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.153/flash /mnt/flash -o username=root,password=******,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 What am I doing wrong?

Try a different user. I don't think root has the ability to mount shares in rc8.

Create another user, e.g., admin. Access the flash share with the user you create.
December 16, 201213 yr Author I must confess I don't understand why I can't access the flash share with 'root' user hovewer, and as advised, I created an 'admin' user and could mount it straigt away. FWIW it worked! thanks
