I'm having a problem copying a file to a mounted network drive on my system. I have SuSe 10.2 installed. I can mount the network drive without any problems by doing the following:

mount.cifs //192.168.3.160/share1 /mnt/share1 -o,rw,uid=root,user=public%public

Although it mounts fine (mounting as root) I am unable to copy a file onto the mounted drive. I get:

cp: writing: '/some_dir/some.file': Input/output error
cp: closing: '/some_dir/some.file': Input/output error

However, if I use konqueror and navigate to the network drive by using:

smb://192.168.3.160/share1

I am able to copy files onto the server with no problems.

I have tried mount.cifs several ways but I always get an Input/output error. On my other linux machine running SuSe 10.0, when I use the same mount parameters I can mount and read/write files successfully (using smbmount on 10.0 instead of mount.cifs on 10.2).

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong and why cp is reporting an Input/output error?

thanks!
