Not only that, but the OP's question wasn't so much a mount.cifs
question as a most fundamental question about mount itself. TechGuy,
if you read what you wrote, unless you have just started using Linux
last week, there are a lot of fundamental issues with the question you
asked.
Please do avail yourself of the resources that abound on the web,
particularly centos.org and many og the wikis you can find, and most
importantly, look up what mount is and does. Then you can also take
Scott's advice for testing your situation.
This list does not flame newbies except those who, like me, started
off with an attitude and asked a lot of fundamentally stupid questions
(I didn't do the research before hand - I do now!), and even so, all
of the masters, except Jim, were still nice, and even he has a soft
side, but don't tell him I admitted it....
Due diligence will get you a lot farther than shortcuts (largely
because the shortcuts usually get responses like RTFM, GIYF and other,
less kind four letter (words and) acronyms).
Best wishes.
