I've created a remote mounted drive by adding this to my /etc/fstab:

\192.x.x.xweb /mnt/web cifs username=X,password=X,domain=X

and mounting it with sudo mount /mnt/web (which works perfectly!)

The problem is that I can only mount the drive as root. Running mount /mnt/web (without sudo) results in the error

mount: only root can mount 192.x.x.xweb on /mnt/web

I read this guide that suggests the following syntax

//192.168.1.100/data /media/corpnet cifs username=johnny,domain=sealab,noauto,rw,users 0 0

When I change my entry to use this syntax like this:

\192.x.x.xweb /mnt/web cifs username=X,password=X,domain=X,noauto,rw,users 0 0

and run mount /mnt/web I get

mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /mnt/web found in /etc/fstab

I then read this question along with it's highest voted answer, but the same error appears.

I have checked that my web folder in the /mnt directory has CHMOD 775, which should be ok.

What could be wrong?

UPDATE (see the discussion on the comments):

You are typing \ instead of //. For linux you must use // even if the network file system is running inside Windows.

The old post:

You are writing mount /mnt/web, but the directory you write in /etc/fstab was /media/corpnet so you need to write /mnt/web in /etc/fstab...

So change /media/corpnet

//192.168.1.100/data /media/corpnet cifs username=johnny,domain=sealab,noauto,rw,users 0 0

To /mnt/web:

//192.168.1.100/data /mnt/web cifs username=johnny,domain=sealab,noauto,rw,users 0 0

Or if you can't edit fstab change your command to mount /media/corpnet (and you must create this directory too)

Good lucky and if that works, please select this as the correct answer.
