Hello,
I have an NFS server with all our user's home directories on a server
that does not support SMB. I wish to mount this directory on a second system
and re-export it via samba so that users can access their unix home directories
from their windows boxes. My samba server is running CentOS 5.0, and I have the
the home directories mounted at /home/na, and there is no rootsquash, so the
root user on my server has full access to the home directoris. My smb.conf is
below:
[global]
workgroup = UNIXPEOPLE
server string = smbserver
# logs split per machine
# max 50KB per log file, then rotate
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
# the login script name depends on the machine name
# the login script name depends on the unix user used
# disables profiles support by specifing an empty path
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
#obtain list of printers automatically on SystemV
[unixhome]
comment = unix home directories
path = /home/na
valid users = myusername
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0700
I know my samba is configured correctly, in general, because if I export /tmp,
then I can mount it just fine from my WinXP client. But, when I make the simple
change to export /home/na, then it fails. My windows client gives me the error
"System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found." In
/var/log/messages on my samba server, I get:
Mar 11 15:35:21 smbserver smbd[26668]: '/home/na' does not exist or
permission denied when connecting to [unixhome] Error was Permission denied
Is there some configuration I have to do to samba to get it to re-export a
remote mount? Thanks,
Michael

[...]I had similar problems with an debian server last august. The answer was that smb-shares on nfs-filesystems are officially not suppoted because of buggy nfs-implementations. I solved the problem by adding kernel oplocks = no to the global section of my smb.conf (see [2]).

Unfortunately this did not solve my problem. I took a look at the original thread and tried the 'posix locking = no' and the 'locking = no' options also, one at a time. None of them seemed to help. Are there any other possible fixes?
