为什么 mount.cifs 不使用我的凭证文件？

Question

I have a script that needs to mount a Windows share to a Linux box, run a script, then unmount it. Despite following the man page for mount.cifs the command fails to recognize the credential file.

I made sure file sharing packages were present:

sudo yum install samba-client samba-common cifs-utils

Created drive that network share will mount to

sudo mkdir /share/

Created the credential file

sudo vim /root/.cifs

.cifs file contents

username=uname
password=pword

Created my .sh file

sudo vim /usr/bin/scritp.sh

script.sh contents

#!bin/bash
mount.cifs //ipaddress/share /share/ -o credentials=/root/.cifs
<script which makes use of the share>
umount /share/

Made the script executable

sudo chmod u+x /usr/bin/script.sh

Tested script

cd /usr/bin
sudo ./script.sh

Despite having the credential file specified, I am still prompted for a password for root user (connecting to Windows share with no "root" user" Output from running script:

Password for root@//ipaddress/share:

Can anyone figure out what I have done wrong? It seems consistent with all documentation I have read.

Answer 1

For some reason, modifying the script to the following worked:

mount -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.cifs //ipaddress/share /share/
cd /share/
./script.sh
umount /share/

Not sure why, since mount -t cifs just invokes mount.cifs, but if you are experiencing the same issue, that's how I finally got around it.
