similar to: smbmount 2.0.6 quirks

Background: I use rsync to shuffles files around from my production server and testing server. The testing server's central file share (the one that the production server pulls from) is a smbmount from an internal file server (OSX 10.4, but this is irrelevant as you'll see). I had to switch from NFS to Samba after the 10.4 upgrade due to their new NFS implementation breaking

Hi, I have just installed Samba 2.0.6 and noticed that the "pagefile.sys" smbmount bug still exists: When unsing smbmount to mount an NT4 volume, and doing an "ls" on the mounted directory, I get: # ls /mnt ls: pagefile.sys: Permission denied . IO.SYS SRVMGR.EXE ffastun.ffa summary.dat .. KBROWSER

I have become quite confused about the interaction of the kernel versions and the different versions of Samba and smbmount. I have just upgraded to a 2.2 kernel. 'make menuconfig' gave no choice by which to enable the Win95 bug workaround. At the same time, smbmount 2.0.5a, which seems to be the proper one for a 2.2 kernel (it's the latest provided by Debian, under the name

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

Fellow SAMBA lovers: I've been using 'mount -t smbfs blah blah' for over a year to do backup/restore. I recently upgraded SAMBA from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3a and the NT Server I was attaching to from v4 to Win2k. Now 'mount -t smbfs' returns an error. However, smbmount with the same parameters works, so I just changed the scripts to use smbmount. I suspect it's the Windoze server

Hello, I'm looking for some (user & technical) feedback on a change I'm considering on how mount and smbmount works together. The current way mounts are done are: mount -t smbfs ... => smbmount ... => smbmnt Possibly without the mount step. smbmount stays as a daemon and reconnects when asked (unless it crashes). Problems: - Some mount options should affect if the mount

I use samba in a very limited application to mount smb shares using smbmount. I have a simple script I use that mounts several shares to a variety of mount points as a specific user on my system. The script passes username, password, share, mount point, domain information to each call to smbmount. This script worked perfectly under redhat 8.0 but since upgrading to redhat 9 I have had some

Hello All! There was a problem: then the samba server goes down, the smbfs tries to reconnect only once. Then the server returns online the smbfs dont restore connection and say "I/O error" without keeping trying to reconnect. I found that there is no problem in smbfs kernel module. Each time it got CONN_INVALID, it send SIGUSR1 to smbmount daemon, which has to restore connection. The

Hello all This patch tries to remove a few bugs from smbmount. It would be nice to get some testing+feedback on this from others using smbmount and possibly get these things fixed for the next release of samba. It does the following: * Change lib/debug.c to allow changing your mind on being interactive. A second call to setup_logging should now replace the effects of a previous call. (hmm,

I've got a SuSE 6.2 Linux server, which now comes with Samba 2.0.5a. I'm having problems with scripts that used to run under 2.0.2. I've tried digging around on newsgroups, the manpages, and the Samba web site and can't seem to find everything I need to do to mount a share (from an NT 4.0 server). When I issue the following: smbmount //server/share -I dest ip -U user%pswd -c

Hi Sorry about the misplaced Q I tried to use a script that when user will logon to the machine he will mount to smb mount (instead of fstab if it's problem) I sow on several places the option to use on /etc/fstab this line //server/share /mnt/home smbfs noauto,user 0 0 and I tried to put on script smbmount //server/share /mnt/home -o username=$USER and get libsmb based programs

I've been working with smbfs/smbmount the last few weeks to allow my linux log processing server access to the logs on our NT servers. The problem is that after a period of time all the smbfs mounts become invalid with either one of two errors. When you do a 'df -k' to view the mounts you see the following: samba:~# df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use%

I am moving FROM: RH EL AS 3.0, Kernel is 2.1.21-4, Samba is 3.0.0-14.3E (This is what came with the RH distribution) TO: Fedora Core 5 Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 Samba is 3.0.22-1.fc5 (Both kernel and samba have been upgraded from the distribution.) I can't find the smbmount (or smbumount) command. I am running VMWare and want to be able to move files between the host

Thanks Urban. I am now convinced that this problem is being caused by the reshare of the Novell drive. I have ended up copying the data (around 6Gb, 400,000 files) to the Windows 2000 server from the Novell server. I then mounted the Windows 2000 share using smbmount. Copying this has been a dream with no sign of any problems at all. I think we will have to put this down to the MS Gateway

Dear all, I'm having a problem with smbmount and could you please kindly help ? I'm desperately searching a smbmount config equivalent to NFS "soft" mount option, but I cannot find any. I'll smbmount a Windows share as smbfs on a Linux box. I hope remote file access requests sent from smb client can timeout if CIFS server is down. i.e. I don't want the r/w file

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.
