Hi, I am wondering what the right way is to have smbmount negotiate a block size value of more than 4kB with the Samba server. I cannot seem to let smbmount understand the value I want it to use. I assumed first it gets this from smb.conf, and by adding DEBUG() info to the code and printing c->max_xmit, that's what it is using in smbmount.c. I also tried influencing the number using

Greetings, I don't know how common an issue this is as I haven't found much in the list archives that was helpful to me, so I'm hoping for some pointers. FYI, we have samba 2.3.3a-6 running on the 2.4.18-10 kernel. There seems to be an issue with smbfs mounts at times where connectivity may be lost (e.g. Win share becomes unavailable) causing local processes such as lsof or ps,

Hi! I have a new machine on a network: kemmer: New Linux box (kernel 2.0.36. Samba 1.9.18p10) torres: old Linux box (kernel 2.0.36. Samba 1.9.18p10) janeway: Windows NT 4.0 SP4. torres and janeway are performing flawlessly, I can access both machine's shares from the other one. kemmer is new and can't access DNS yet. Thus, I have to use the -I switch to smbclient and smbmount to access

Hi! I am experiencing strange smbmount problems with my 3 computers. I have: janeway, an NT 4.0 SP5 box, torres, a Linux box running kernel 2.0.36 and samba 2.0.5a, q, a Linux box running kernel 2.0.36. Both Linux machines have smbfs compiled as a module and loaded. I can smbmount janeway shares on both torres and q, and I can see torres shares on janeway. Naturally, q can't be seen by

I'm using smbfs version 2.0.2 with kernel version 2.0.36 (hence i cannot use the samba release of smbmount). I am using the following command to mount my network share: smbmount //server2/ftpdir /mnt/server2 -n The error is: mount error: No such device Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons I've tried all the solutions given in the man page (eg. smbclient

Hi, Since i upgraded to Linux Redhat 9.0 / samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 / kernel 2.4.20-9 i have the following problem: # smbmount //amd/Films /mnt/disk -o username=jan,password=XXXXXX # In 50% of the times i do this command it mounts the share and goes into daemon mode and ps -aux shows one process smbmount. All ok. However in the other 50% the command just hangs. If i open a new window it did do

Hi, We have a Windows NT 4 SP5 sharing a read-only share of logs that are constantly being written to and a Linux box running CentOS release 4.2 (Final) that mounts this share. The share in mounted using the following command: smbmount //cdn-mtl-ms/Logs /mnt/logs -o sockopt=SO_KEEPALIVE,username=user,password=pass,ro,uid=503,gid=503 smbmount -v shows --> Version 3.0.10-1.4E.2 We notice a

Samba 2.0.5a smbfs 2.0.1 linux 2.0.36 (RedHat 5.2) encrypted passwords in /etc/smbpasswd When I try to mount a share with my correct Samba password, I get: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL mount error: Invalid argument Please look at smbmount's manual page for possible reasons Then once I accidentally used my UNIX password, and it works. O?O Why? Shouldn't it

This seems like it should have an obvious answer, but I haven't seen a clear word one way or the other in the man pages or other documentation that I have read - is smbmount's behavior in any way governed by the smb.conf file? The reason I ask is one of the other sysadmins here has been trying to figure out ways to improve smbfs performance, and he came across the speed.txt file in

I've tried CIFS VFS with the following config in my fstab //cdn-mtl-ms/Logs /mnt/logs cifs username=user,password=pass 0 0 And I still have the same problem. As for kernel versions, the working one uses "linux-2.4.21-20.EL" and the non-working one uses "linux-2.6.9-11.EL". Does this have anything to do with "oplock" being enabled in the kernel? I've

Hi, I use samba on Linux 2.6 and 2G over size file sharing. It seems smbmount '-o lfs' need to use with large file. but default man page doesn't say this option. I want to edit smbmount.8.xml for lfs and unicode option. I believe using mount.cifs is right way on latest Linux. But one of the implementation smb_clients tools take this lazy option. Is it right way to change of man page

I have cross-compiled smbmount(smbmnt, smbclient) using samba-3.0.24.tar.gz, then ported them to an ARM Arch machine whose /etc directory is read only. The smbmount command always results in errors """Can't get /etc/mtab~ lock filesmbmnt failed: 1""" Someone says that If we rebuild samba with the smbmount-nomtab.patch and smbmount-mtab-flags.patch, it would work

Hello, I tried to compile Samba-2.0.5b with smbmount after setting the configure-option "--with-smbmount".

Hi, Iam using Red hat linux 6.1 with samba version 2.0.7 .I had compiled and used it,and also used the patch given for smbmount.c by Urban.But Strangely the smbmount version is still version 2.0.5a.Is this the correct version for smbmount since i thought when i upgraded samba from 2.0.5a to 2.0.7 smbmount would also be upgraded.Because iam still facing some problems in using smbmount.If iam

Hello, I have found a solution on an other news group : uk.comp.os.linux There is a set of messages with the subject "Ordinary user to mount SAMBA share" You can read the content of that uk.comp.os.linux group through the web, the URL is http://x35.deja.com In one of the message the author wrote "After, further test.

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

RH6.0. I downloaded: samba-2.0.4b-19990527.src.rpm Follwing the instrucions in README.smbmount, I edited samba2.spec to add 1) --with-smbmount to configure 2) the smbmount related files and man pages to the install and files sections. rpm -ba samba2.spec stops with: .....

For long time I used to smbmount my windows-xp share from my SuSE-Linux machine with smbmount from samba 2.2.12. Now I changed to debian-linux with samba 3.0.13. The smbmount-cmd: ' smbmount //winxp/share /unix-dir -o username=user,password=xxx,ro' returns no error. with 'mount' I see the mounted win-share. But when I try a 'ls /unixdir' I get a 'Permission
