boot2docker mount windows share

Question

I am running boot2docker on windows and I am trying to access a shared folder on my host from the VM.

I have executed the following

  sudo mkdir /mnt/docktest
  sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.24.75/dock /mnt/docktest -o user=username
     mount: mounting //192.168.24.75/dock on /mnt/docktest/ failed: Permission denied
  sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.24.75/dock /mnt/docktest -o username=username
     mount: mounting //192.168.24.75/dock on /mnt/docktest/ failed: No such device

My host (192.168.24.75) has the folder "dock" shared with access to the user I am supplying.

I have tried adding the password and domain in the command as well to no avail (even though I would rather not have to)

Note: I would rather not share the folder using the VirtualBox shared folders as it would restrict me to be between the host and it's own vm.

the solution was to install cifs-utils using tce-load

How exactly did you do that? with `tce-load -wi cifs-utils` ? – Ben Aug 30 '14 at 17:36

I first used wget to download the file (found a download link online) then installed it locally using tce-load -i – mangusbrother Sep 01 '14 at 08:54
