Ubuntu 14 mount.cifs with credentials did not work

Question

I can mount the Windows share drive in the following way:

mount.cifs //192.168.1.151/_wymiana /mnt/share_2 -o user=wega,password=1234

but I can not in this way:

mount.cifs //192.168.1.151/_wymiana /mnt/share_2 -o credentials=/root/.smbcredential_2

cat .smbcredential_2
username=wega   
password=1234

Debugging with strace

strace -f -e trace=mount mount -t cifs //192.168.1.151/_wymiana /mnt/share_2 -o credentials=/root/.smbcredential_2
Process 3338 attached

thank you in advance for your help

When you type in the command is your command prompt a "$" or a "#"? — L. D. James, Jan 12 '16 at 09:53

Check and verify that you don't have any spaces or any other invisible characters after the username and password in your credential file.

Having extra spaces would change the credentials.

Your cat command shows several extra characters after the username entry.

I changed `username=wega password=wega@1qazxsw2` and still the same – Mantykora 7 Jan 12 '16 at 10:07
I reboot system and is ok:) – Mantykora 7 Jan 12 '16 at 10:10
I forgot to thank you , thank you for your help L. D. James – Mantykora 7 Jan 12 '16 at 10:13
@Mantykora7 I don't think you should have changed the password. Just remove the spaces from the previous file. – L. D. James Jan 12 '16 at 10:13
@Mantykora7 Glad it's working. Thanks for the acknowledgement. FYI, by the way, a reboot should not have been a criterion. Users are added to systems and passwords are changed and updated on production servers that go months and years without being rebooted. – L. D. James Jan 12 '16 at 10:15
