I write the following command:



sudo mount -t cifs -o username=XXX,password=XXX //192.168.0.29/mp3/ /home/pi/DRIVE/share


and it returns with the following error:




mount error(22): Invalid argument

Refer to mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)




I'm all new to Linux, sorry if it's an easy mistake. What can I do to fix this?

The error is pointing you to the man page (the manual) for mount.cifs, which is available here online or by typing man mount.cifs into terminal:



You have put your arguments in the wrong order. The manual indicated the order is...



mount.cifs {service} {mount-point} [-o options]


also, "username" is not the correct option for specifying username; it's "user".



so the correct mount command would be...



mount -t cifs //192.168.0.29/mp3/ /home/pi/DRIVE/share -o user=XXX,password=XXX
