Setup:
HTPC uses fdisk to mount a second hdd at startup at /<mountpoint>. (This part works fine)
HTPC is now running samba in an attempt to share the abovementioned hdd on my local network.
smbclient -L //<hostname> -U% run from another computer on the network gives the following output:
creating lame upcase table
creating lame lowcase table
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf":
No such file or directory
smbclient: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it

So it sees the share.
Attempting to mount the share gives me:
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I'm using the following method to mount the share:
# mount.cifs //<hostname>/<share> <mount_point> -o user=<username>,password=<password>
and have tried entering both the <hostname> as well as the IP address, both of which gave me the same error.
I've been working on this for hours and it's driving me nuts.

For the record, the HTPC is running 32-bit arch + openbox and my networked computer is running 64-bit arch + openbox. Both computers use DHCP but are issued static IPs through my router.
I know I could just use NFS, I've tried, it made even less sense to me and I have some experience with samba already.
Someone please help?
FUCKIT, I've mostly made sense of nfs now.
