I am using FileMaker Server 19 in CentOS 7.8 and trying to mount a smb share for the backup of databases.

I have entered into fstab: "//172.30.x.x/CentOS /opt/FileMaker/FileMaker\040Server/Data/Backups cifs username=mylogin,password=mypassword, uid=989, gid=1004 0 0"

When I run "mount -a" I get the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error: ignore entry at line 13."

The above is line 13...

The cifs command runs fine in the command line so I know the details are correct.

Can anyone see any obvious errors?

Thanks in advance!

If you copy/pasted it, then I see that uid and gid have a " " before them, yet all options should be concatenated (no spaces). BAD:

//172.30.x.x/CentOS /opt/FileMaker/FileMaker\040Server/Data/Backups cifs username=mylogin,password=mypassword, uid=989, gid=1004 0 0

Good:

//172.30.x.x/CentOS /opt/FileMaker/FileMaker\040Server/Data/Backups cifs username=mylogin,password=mypassword,uid=989,gid=1004 0 0
