Cifs to work on Milkv-Mars

Mars
1

Has anyone gotten cifs to work on the Milkv-Mars? I want to mount a Samba drive from my network for file access, but I can’t get cifs to work. I’m running the Milkv-Mars headless, so I don’t want to use Nautilus to mount the drive. I may give in when I get tired of using scp or smbclient.

Here’s what I’m getting:

sudo apt install cifs-utils samba samba-client

Works fine.

sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,username=[username],password=[password] //nas.local/share /mnt/share

returns

mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

and

sudo modprobe cifs

returns

modprobe: FATAL: Module cifs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0

/lib/modules/5.15.0 doesn’t exist.
cifs is under /lib/modules/5.15.0-gpu117/

Help anyone!
