I have a server (let's call it ServerA) where I have configured two Samba shares, that are currently accessed from a few Windows computers with no issues.

I've also been able to mount these two shares in ServerB, but when doing the same thing in ServerC (a server with very similar configurations as ServerB: RHEL 5) using this command:

mount -t cifs -o username=<username>,password=<password> //ServerA/logs /mnt/logs

I get the following error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //ServerA/logs,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

The destination /mnt/logs exists and has the correct permissions.

What could be the reason for this error?

Thank you!

I'm having big troubles with a remote server that for some reason explorer.exe crashed and, although I didn't lose remote desktop connectivity, I can't do anything. Is there a way of restarting explorer without rebooting the server?

I appreciate ANY suggestions!!

This is not an emergency, but I would like to save a trip to the datacentre during the weekend.

It turns out that I need to reinstall Solaris 10 on a server, but the drive seems to be open/ejected. Is there a way from the OK prompt to close the drive? Maybe I'm talking nonsense, but I'm just wondering if there could be something that could do the trick!

I'm trying to find out a way to display the LATEST patches installed in a Solaris box. I know the existence of the commands:

showrev - p
patchadd -p

But I'd like to see a list of patches sorted by install date just to confirm that the box has the latest patch installed.
