Hello, I'm running samba 3.05 on FreeBSD 4.9 server with windows xp pro clients. We use to run a Novell file server and i could mount iso iamge files off the server(mapped drive) on the workstation(winXP) using daemon tools with no problems. Since switching to samba, I get this error when i go to mount an iso: 'Unable to mount image. Unable to access image file.' The permission are correct as you can do anything else to the files except mount them on your workstation with daemon tools. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Jason
I would suggest turning on debugging in smb.conf (log level = 2 or 3) and looking for oplocks messages. This is probably your problem, in the case of ISO images, since they are read-only content, you could try enabling fake oplocks in smb.conf. Do not enable it on Read/Write shares since this can lead to nasty file corruption. hope it helps Charles Jason Lieurance wrote:>Hello, > >I'm running samba 3.05 on FreeBSD 4.9 server with windows xp pro clients. > >We use to run a Novell file server and i could mount iso iamge files off the >server(mapped drive) on the workstation(winXP) using daemon tools with no problems. > >Since switching to samba, I get this error when i go to mount an iso: > >'Unable to mount image.

Check your settings for veto files on this share if you have any?> I'm running samba 3.05 on FreeBSD 4.9 server with windows xp pro clients. > > We use to run a Novell file server and i could mount iso iamge files off the > server(mapped drive) on the workstation(winXP) using daemon tools with no problems. > > Since switching to samba, I get this error when i go to mount an iso: > > 'Unable to mount image.
