mount -t cifs

Hello, I need to ship a patch by week's end that provides the functionality to perform 'mount -t cifs' and mount subdirectories // 192.168.1.11/Users/jon/shared /mnt. My kernel , mount , samba version combinations do not allow this: ie "not a block device" . Can I install something, say cifs-utils, that I can ship in a patch without shipping another kernel? version: mount from util-linux-ng 2.18 kernel 2.6 smbclient Version 3.0.22 Thanks c
