Executing a command like this: mount -t cifs //toad/Backup /media/backup -o user=username,password=password,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 We get an error like this: mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) Solution: First, check the permissions on your shared folder.
