I built an embedded box which uses mount.cifs to mount network shares. I've shipped several of these and all are working fine except for one, which gives me permission denied on certain files: root@Mnemosyne:~/mnt/bgrp1/c/Ballance Group Folders/Scully/Client Photos-Scully# cat "Office Pics 002.jpg" > /dev/null cat: Office Pics 002.jpg: Permission denied root@Mnemosyne:~/mnt/bgrp1/c/Ballance Group Folders/Scully/Client Photos-Scully# cat "Iron & Concrete Table.jpg" > /dev/null root@Mnemosyne:~/mnt/bgrp1/c/Ballance Group Folders/Scully/Client Photos-Scully# So only the Office Pics file gets a permission denied. root@Mnemosyne:~/mnt/bgrp1/c/Ballance Group Folders/Scully/Client Photos-Scully# ls -al dr-xr-x--- 1 root root 0 Mar 28 14:22 . dr-xr-x--- 1 root root 0 Mar 27 17:35 .. -r--r----- 1 root root 113826 Mar 3 16:26 Iron & Concrete Table.jpg -r--r----- 1 root root 744886 Feb 21 16:14 Nightstands.jpg -r--r----- 1 root root 765452 Feb 15 19:09 Occhio Chair.jpg -r--r----- 1 root root 90670 Mar 28 14:22 Office Pics 002.jpg cat /proc/mounts says: //bgrp1/c /tmp/mnt/bgrp1/c cifs ro,mand,nodiratime,unc=\\bgrp1\c,username=root,domain=,rsize=4100,wsize=4100 0 0 and the mount line itself is mount.cifs "//$server/$wshare" /tmp/mnt/$server/$lshare -o ip=$target,guest,ro,file_mode=0440,dir_mode=0550 I can't for the life of me figure out why some files give me a permission denied.

I've seen something to this effect with a stale lock (had to reboot the server - although I'm sure there is a guru technique to blow away the entry in the open files table, and it's probably elegant too!) In my case, it made the load increase, as it thought it was I/O blocked. Are you seeing any outrageous load averages in 'uptime'? I was in the hundreds, but the box was responding like it was at a 0.5 or so.
