[SWLUG] Mounting a Samba NAS Disk

['o-Dzin Tridral]

Dear everyone,

I've recently bought a NAS disk (smalldrives.com) and I'm going round in
circles trying to mount it as a disk.

It knows Samba and Ftp.  I can access it as a network folder (smb://) and
also read and write via FTP, but mounting the drive as a Samba or Cifs
filesystem has me completely foxed.  I'm using OpenSuse 10.3 and apparently
this no longer supports the smbfs filesystem, so I'm attempting to use Cifs.

Does anyone have a simple recipe that I can follow that includes what
services I need to have switched on, and what the contents of the fstab or
smbsftab file should look like?

I have the following in smbfstab
//<drive>/<share>  /mnt/<point>      cifs    username=<me>,password=<mine>

attempting to mount gets me
mount error 5 = Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

What I'm aiming to do is to be able to backup to this disk via rsync.

All hints gratefully received!
