How to fix CIFS Error Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock while mounting windows share Drive

Not able to mount CIFS share on client getting error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock"

[root@linuxcnf ~]# mount –t cifs //192.168.43.9/share_drive /mnt/share_drive mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.43.9/file_server missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. [root@linuxcnf ~]#

Check to see if package cifs-utils is installed:

[root@ linuxcnf ~]# rpm -qa|grep cifs-utils [root@ linuxcnf ~]#

Package cifs-utils not installed on the system and that could be caused in not mounting the cifs share.

Install cifs-utils package:

[root@ linuxcnf ~]# yum install cifs-utils …. Installed:   cifs-utils.x86_64 0:6.2-10.el7 Dependency Installed:   keyutils.x86_64 0:1.5.8-3.el7 Complete! [root@ linuxcnf ~]#

Now Issue got resolved. I am able to mount cifs share folder.

[root@linuxcnf ~]# mount –t cifs //192.168.43.9/share_drive /mnt/share_drive [root@linuxcnf ~]#
