Workaround of CIFS error
When I tried to mount a windows folder on a remote windows computer, such as an active directory or samba, I got this error from time to time.
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
This error can be solved by typing in an actual IP of a remote windows computer instead of a domain name. This tip is from here.

Hey, Thanks.
I wonder why this happens. Though I’m able to mount the share on a different computer with same kernel using the hostname.
Thanks again!
