Mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system

Hello guys

I am facing a problem trying to mount a cifs share and using the mellanox drivers because of the infiniband cards that I have. Then when I try to mount the cifs share with the command below I get that error shown below:

mount -vvvvvvv -t cifs -o username=user,password=password,vers=2.0 ///user /media/tmp

mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=,unc=\\user,vers=2.0,user=soportemodemat,pass=**********

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)

I have tried with versions 1.0 and 3.0 too but I got the same error. I can provide the next information for you to give any idea to solve this issue please:

Thank you in advance for your reply and any ideas are welcome.

Hi Viky.

Thank you for your reply.

I need the MLNX_OFED for the infiniband network card works properly. So could you tell me how can I recompile CIF module manually with the MLNX_OFED that is already installed.
