Mount Qumulo SMB shares via command line on Linux

IN THIS ARTICLE:

• Outlines the process of mounting SMB shares via command line for
  
  • Qumulo-local user not bound to AD
  • Members of AD domain

REQUIREMENTS:
Linux SMB 2.1 Compatibility Requirements:

• Linux Kernel 3.7 or higher

• cifs-utils

NOTE: Check your Linux kernel version using the command below. If you are not running Linux kernel 3.7 and above then your system is not compatible with SMB 2.1.

uname -r

PROCESS:

• First you'll need to create a mount point. 

sudo mkdir /mnt/qumulo

Mount share as a Qumulo-local user NOT bound to AD.

• Qumulo user ‘admin’ used in this example. You’ll be prompted for the password for user ‘admin’

sudo mount -t cifs -o vers=2.1,user=admin,dom=qumulo //your.qumulo.ip/ShareName /mnt/qumulo

Mount share as a member of Active Directory Domain: Linux client NOT bound to AD, Qumulo bound to AD

• You’ll be prompted for the password for user ‘yourADuser’

sudo mount -t cifs -o vers=2.1,user=yourADuser,dom=AD.YOURDOMAIN.COM //your.qumulo.ip/ShareName/mnt/qumulo

Mount share as a member of Active Directory Domain: Linux client and Qumulo BOTH bound to AD and a valid AD user currently logged into Linux client.

• Depending on your Linux client’s Kerberos configuration, a password for the current logged in user might not be required.

sudo mount -t cifs -o vers=2.1 //your.qumulo.ip/ShareName /mnt/qumulo

RESOLUTION:

You should now be able to successfully mount Qumulo SMB shares via command line on Linux using the commands featured in this article.
