As this is a very basic topic, I have read many documentation about it online and none of them seems to work, I have tried several ways but I want to know if anybody has been successful with this so far.

So here's my fstab entry: 

//AAAAAA/BBBBBB/CCCCC /backup cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/XXXXX/.smbcredentials  0  0

I'm getting:

mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

And I am sure the credentials are correct because when I change it I get a permission error.

Again, I have tried several changes including sec=ntlm, gid, etc., but didn't solve it for me.

The sec=ntlm solves it for me:

... -o sec=ntlm,username=...

Learned from:

There is a bug in kernel 3.13.0.36-generic. Check your version.

# kernel version    
uname -a

See http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg4499055.html

See Set "older" kernel as default grub entry for temporary solution.
