sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory on cited drive

I am trying to compile ARM code on [Ubuntu 12.04][1] (Precise Pangolin). Everything is working fine when I put the code in the local directory. But when I put the code in the cited mount directory, an error shows up: making testXmlFiles sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory ARM Compiling xxxxx.c sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory Here is my setting in [fstab][2]: //10.0.0.1/data /mnt/data cifs auto,noserverino,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=user,gid=users,noperm 0 0 What is going on here?
