I am running Virtualbox on a Windows 8.1 host, and Debian guest.
I have a folder on Windows shared, and want to mount it with cifs on the guest, as follows:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.12/Users/Paul/Documents/code_stash /mnt/pc -o user=Paul,password=password
However, I am getting the error:
mount error(6): No such device or address
This is in dmesg and syslog also. I am certain that Users/Paul/Documents/code_stash exists on Windows and is shared, and also that /mnt/pc exists.
Any suggestions or insights please into what the problem is?
Thanks
