I upgraded my SUSE 10.0 server to the Suse Projects 3.0.23c rpms. When I try to use cifs to mount, I get the error: mount error 112: Host is down by using this syntax: # mount -t cifs -o ro //p-t18/G /mnt/test What do I need to do to make this work? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Hi Felix, if you try to mount a server which is using an old SMB dialect (like OS/2), you get this error. Some weeks ago we already discussed that. The current cifs is atm not enabled to support the older dialects. That was the reason we built our own kernel with cifs enabled to also negotiate an older dialect. The current cifs code must be enhanced (and tested) to support some more aspects of the older SMB dialect. With your own special build of cifs you already noticed the wrong timestamps. Cheers, Guenter
