similar to: smbfs: sometimes can't read file on windows share

Hi. I've been at it for a solid week now....trying to figure out how to mount a smbfs-resource at boot. See i need to do the following; mount -t smbfs //<machine_name>/<share> /home/<usr_name>/music ...only thing is, I have to run the cmd as a regular user. The easiest thing would offcourse be to have i run at when booting, but i don't know how to do that. Any help

Hi! I am using smbfs to mount a NT 4.0 SP3 disk to a Linux 2.0.33 box (SuSE 5.1). This works most of the time. Sometimes, I get a syslog entry |Jun 26 23:03:10 palandt kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL on the smbmount command, which subsequently fails "illegal parameter". What am I doing wrong? I currently can't browse the digest archives because my

I mount a WinNT share using a samba client version 2.2.5: smbmount -t smbfs -o username=user //ntserver/share /logs Then I want to watch a log generated by Internet Information Server (IIS) that grows continually: tail -f /logs/zzz.txt I can see the last lines in file zzz.txt the first time, but I don't get the new lines that are appended in such file. From any windows station I have

Hello, I'm using the newest Samba 3.0.2a and smbfs which comes in 2.4.21 kernel. Sometimes or actually always when I copy, rsync or even list files from a share which resides on NT4 server all the files don't show up (only in directories which have lots of files >1000 files..) First I noticed this when I was rsyncing a "mirror" of this share to an another machine and rsync

I 'just' noticed that at some point, my USB backup drive on my server is mounted as read-only and all of my background sync cron jobs have been failing. So I need to fix this without rebooting the server. I can VNC into the server and running "mount" shows: /dev/sdc1 on /media/HD103SI type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) and umount gets: # umount /dev/sdc1 umount:

(using samba-2.0.7 on Debian Linux 2.2.15) Hi, I'm wondering how do I get around the problem when you smbmount a share on a win32 machine and that machine reboots, the mount becomes a blackhole. If you attempt an 'ls', 'df' or anything that would access that mount point the program then goes into a state of void and cannot be killed, leaving the proc open until reboot

The only problem is that on my system, the default output includes a TID column that is present in only some of the lines, so the size column is 8 for many lines and 7

[Note: This has been posted to linux-kernel and was ignored. Since smbfs is maintained by the samba team, I am retrying here] Hi! To maintain and install packages from CD-ROM to my Debian/GNU Linux system, I use Debian's apt package. Since my Linux box is stowed away in a closet, I use an smbfs mount to mount the CD-ROM drive from my Windows desktop machine to the Linux box. This used to

I'm running samba 4.1.6 as a PDC on ubuntu 14.04. I'm following these guides to setup print shares https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_as_a_print_server https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_and_configure_file_shares_with_Windows_ACLs When I go to my windows workstation to change the ACL's on the print$ share I can get into the security tab and I can change the security options

Regarding the insertion of "user_xattr,acl,barrier=1" in to /etc/fstab file. The Sambawiki page 'https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/OS_Requirements' has instructions there for ext4 to include this. I seen it commented here, in the mailing list, many time that this is now default for ext4. Maybe the wiki page should be changed? (Just a suggestion, you guys always give great

Greetings - Ok, I made a mistake that I need to fix. Fortunately it is not a destructive mistake, but I need some advice on how to correct the problem. CentOS 6.3 host system named Earth I was creating some new logical volumes within my exiting volume group for a new virtual machine using the LVM GUI. When I created the LV that I plan to use for root partition of the new VM (Bacteria) I

First I will apologize for posting my patch here if this is not the correct place to post a patch. I know that smbfs is being removed, but we still use it and need it to work. We have a patch to contribute back to the smbfs in the 2.6 kernel. I have noticed multiply posts on this issue and we have basically patch the smbiod.c to fix the reconnect bug in 2.6 Something we did for our patch is

When I mount the Windows share it works, but only root is allowed write permission in the directory created. How can I allow any user write permission? I have tried everything I could find in the archive, and on google. surely someone has had to do this before? The windows machine is XP, I'm using Fedora Core 4. The entry in fstab is: //$fileServer/$share

Hello All, I had a problem with 2.0.3 on RH6.0 (linux) where a mount of an NT server share on my linux machine would mysteriously die after a period of time (a long time? not being used? don't know why, but hours of unuse). I would get an "input/output error" when I tried to do a df later. To get around the problem, I found I needed to "umount" (not smbumount) the

I used to mount following share using samba client on RHEL 3.0 without any problems. Then I installed ES4.0 and I started seeing problems with these samba shares. I have following line in fstab to mount the share : //bizgroup/wli1 /wli1 smbfs uid=501,gid=501,credentials=/etc/samba/.smbpassword 0 0 and /etc/samba/.smbpassword contains following username=xxxxxxx

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%

On a 2.4.17 (MontaVista 2.1) kernel using ext3, I recently starting seeing the error EXT3-fs error (device ide1(22,1)) in start_transaction: Readonly filesystem EXT3-fs error (device ide1(22,1)) in ext3_delete_inode: Readonly filesystem on a file system within 10-20 seconds after remounting it r/o.

Hi all, We've having an issue at the moment where an iSCSI connection was temporarily lost on a few VMs running CentOS 6 on ESXi. The problem is, now that the iSCSI connection has returned, we are not able to remount the drive. At first the drive is read-only, so I tried '*mount -o remount,rw*' which didn't work (still read-only), so then I tried a '*umount*' (which

This problem began a couple months ago with my new install of (you guessed it) XP sp2. Now, when i mount a share from the xp machine to my debian box, everyone, including rot, gets a permission denied trying to ls the dir. I've read posts about switching to cifs, but that has opened a whole new can of worms. I'd just like to see smbfs mount my shares properly the way they used to. My

Hi, I tried to make my Linux box smbmount a remote share originating from a Macintosh running the commercial package DAVE 2.5. The Linux box is a RedHat 6.0 with a 2.2.14 kernel (with smbfs inserted as a module) and samba-2.0.3; the iMac ran MacOS9. The directory to be shared, \\akemi\archivio, contained two files, aaa and bbb. Here's what happened: [root@sonal ~]# smbmount
