...machines and must say it works much better than smbfs. special characters alright, transfer speed doubled (from 2.8MB/s to 5.6MB/s on 100MBit). There's two issues tho I haven't been able to root out: -credentials file: tried username=<username> and password=<password> in /etc/credfile, tried user=<username> to match the convention in cifsfs, but with both variants I get: mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) the corresponding fstab entry is: //xerxes/m1 /mnt/xerxes/d cifs credentials=/etc/credfile,uid=dexter,gid=use...

...client's tar command using crX parameters for creating archive, excluding files based on basic regular expressions. The box is running Fedora core 2, fully updated: kernel-2.6.8-1.521 samba-common-3.0.7-2.FC2 samba-client-3.0.7-2.FC2 The error is easily reproducible: smbclient //ntpdc/share -A credfile \ -c "tar crX ntpdc.share.tar *.tmp" exits with error 139. Output is: tar_re_search set directory \subdir\ Segmentation fault Is regular expression exclusion broken? Thanks in advance, l.

...wn and startup situation. If we persistently try and force the server to mount the share it will eventually connect to the second server ... this is time consuming and annoying. Here is an example from '/etc/fstab' file : //our.domain.com/PATH/TO/SHARE /target cifs credentials=/etc/samba/credfiles/credentials,uid=user,gid=group,_netdev 0 0 Servers Vary between RHEL 6 / 7 and SLES12. We patch quarterly so various software packages are never that out of date. Can anyone provide some assistance in this matter ? Much appreciated. Regards Shaun

I have many shares in my fstab which look just like so... //machinename/sharename /mnt/foo smbfs credentials=credfile,rw,user,gid=sambawrites,fmask=0774,dmask=0774 0 0 And they work generally fine. But sometimes weird things happen, i.e. the power goes out, and the linux server comes up before the machines with the shares do, or one of the machines with the shares gets turned off for a couple days, or there's...
