Hello,
I have a problem with smbmount between two Linux (both: RH 6.0,
kernel 2.2.9, samba 2.0.4c) boxes. When I use smbmount, the share loads and
I can read files just fine, but when I copy ("cp file") to the share,
the
first 512 bytes of the file are copied and then the copy just freezes there.
Trying several times to kill -9 the process didn't work. I had to reboot the
server. Now I tried both the smbmount included in samba 2.0.5-pre3 and in
smbfs-2.0.4b-19990519.i386.rpm on the samba ftp site. Both had the same
effect.
Here's what the console says on the client site :
kernel: SMBFS: Win 95 bug fixes enabled
kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 5
kernel: smb_request: result -5, setting invalid
kernel: smb_retry: new pid=5039, generation=2
Suggestions? Should I abandon SMB in disgust and adopt NFS? :-)
Regards,

Have you applied any knfsd/v3 patches? There was some smbfs related problems with Trond's (earlier?) v3 patches, that had exactly these "symptoms". /Urban
