How to mount a shared windows partition from linux with just one dollar :P:P:P:P



Yesterday while trying to mount remotely (LAN) a windows partition with the name "D" from linux i tried this :

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.7/D -o username=giannis,password=topsecret /mnt/D

... after some tries i "discover" ... that i needed to pad a dollar sign "$" in front of the partition name to work...

so the command became:
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.7/D$ -o username=giannis,password=topsecret /mnt/D

i executed it and everything went fine...
but ...what happened here was that
with just one dollar i finally mounted my windows partitions..

if Dollar ($) = Money

so one can say...
that the Money not only corrupts humans
but also the machines ...
