[HOW TO] mount cannot mount block device //server/share read-only

You try to mount Samba share, you get this error as below:

ali33@01:/etc/skel$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.5/tool_utils /mnt/ -o username=pttien
[sudo] password for ali33: 
mount: block device //192.168.1.5/tool_utils is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: cannot mount block device //192.168.1.5/tool_utils read-only

You don't like once. Ok, the solution is very simple. You must install cifs-utils package:

root@01:/etc/skel# apt-get install cifs-utils
