Hello Thecus friends,
got a little problem on which the official Thecus support is not yet willing to help (forwarded my ticket to HQ), as it's connected to third party modules. Well, maybe some power user might help me ...
When I'm logged in to our Thecus N8800PRO via ssh (using modules _SSH and _SYSUSER), I try to mount a CIFS share on another server, with
mount -t cifs //cifs-share-server/share-folder //raid1/data/path-to-mountpoint -o username=myname,password=secret,domain=ourdomain,iocharset=utf8
which is working on any other linux system. The server I try to connect to is reachable via WAN port (ping works fine).
Anyway, the mount command on our N8800PRO leads to the following error message:
> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //cifs-share-server/share-folder,
> missing codepage or other error
> In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
> dmesg | tail or so
And dmesg gives me just:
> CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
I've read somewher, that a insmod cifs/smbfs would help, but it didn't.
A lsmod says:
> Module Size Used by Not tainted
> smbfs 56440 0
> cifs 229004 0
And smbfs/cifs are listed in /proc/filesystems, too.
I'd be very pleased if you have any suggestions how to solve this problem.
Many thanks in advance!

Anyway, I can asure you that my problem isn't the way how to google for answers, but the answers I've found don't work. Therefore I'm looking forward for new suggestions, as you are quite at the point, now, to have adviced me all the things I've already mentioned to have done them before. 
) In the current version the module just adds the missing smbfs package and creates links in /sbin and /usr/bin. Maybe someday I'll also find the time to add a web interface for mounting/unmounting, so you don't need to work on the command shell via ssh.
