How to mount the “root” file system of a Windows Samba Share with cifs?
Is it possible to mount the "root" of a Windows Samba Share?
I have successfully mounted a specific Samba share with this:
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt -o username=blub
What I would like to mount is the overview of all accessible shares, which Windows shows if you enter \server in the Explorer.
But mounting like this:
mount.cifs //server /mnt --verbose -o username=blub
fails with:
Password for blub@//server: ********
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=172.16.83.13,unc=\server,user=blub,prefixpath=mnt,pass=********
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Reading the manpage did not lead me to anything.
Is it even possible to do such things with CIFS?
I have neither read that this specific thing is impossible or that it should be possible.
All examples are just mounting \servershare and not the share overview.
I am using Gentoo Linux with cifs-utils 6.1, Kernel 3.18.7.

AFAIK you need to mount each share separately, as each share may have its own restrictions and allowed users. The list can be obtained withsmbclient -L ..., if that's what you're after. You can't mount the "root" of multiple NFS exports either.

@wurtel well, actually, with NFSv4 you can, but that's beside the point.

Well, that's a pity. I thought this is quite a nice thing, but then I will mount each share separately. Thanks for your answers!
