similar to: mount.smbfs hangs while trying to connect to dead server.

I have searched for a solution to my problem, and have only found one short discussion which mentioned it (http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Aug2001/msg00364.html), and I didn't feel it contained a resolution I could use. In a nutshell, I want to mount an win2k share as 'guest' at boot time on a linux web server.[1] It just won't work any way that I've tried it. I can

Hi, I've users connecting to a samba server via WinNTWS 4.0 (home directories are /home/%u) While workstations have both Windows and Linux installed, I want to allow users to connect to their /home directory when logging into Linux. Do you think it's better to automount the folders using an NFS mount or to use an SMBFS mount ? What are advantages and drawbacks of each methods ?

Hi, This is a very simple question I realise, but I hope maybe someone can just help me out. I am trying to do a very simple thing, just transfer a file from machine A to machine B using rsync with ssh. This is what i'm typing: bash-2.03# rsync -avvv --rsh="ssh -l tdf" tdf@machine.niss.ac.uk:/export/home/tdf/demofile.html demofile.html This is what I get: opening connection

I just had the unpleasant experience of crashing a production server _twice_ when trying to access a file share. The server is 64-bit Windows 2003 on an itanium3. My box is RedHat Linux 8.0 with Samba 3.0.0-2. Here's some messages from syslog: Mar 19 09:13:58 hedron automount[1037]: attempting to mount entry /dborg/POS Mar 19 09:13:58 hedron mount.smbfs[23153]: [2004/03/19 09:13:58, 0]

Hi all, I'm just wondering why smbmount allows the same mount point to mount several times the same share while a normal mount operation (with a non-smbfs) returns a busy mount point error. [luca@fluca:~]$ mount ... //server/sys on /mnt/target type smbfs (rw) [luca@fluca:~]$ smbmount //server/sys /mnt/target/ -o ip=192.168.4.1,guest [luca@fluca:~]$ mount ... //server/sys on /mnt/target type

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows folder from a Linux box with the command: # mount -t smbfs (...) but I get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'". Does this mean that CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ? If so, how can I enable it ? I'm using 5.1 Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

Hello, context: Samba-3.0.2 on a i386 debian-sarge linux, 2.4 kernel.

Exerpt from smb.conf: client NTLMv2 auth = Yes client lanman auth = No client plaintext auth = No The rest being default. Doing smbclient -L server

Hi all, when trying to mount a windows file share using the commands below, mount exits immediately with message "password too long" before even attempting the mount: mount -t smbfs -o username="a user",password="12345678901234567" "//server/share" "/mnt/target" mount -t cifs -o user="a

Hi; Unable to mount NetApp volume via smbfs on CentOS 6.6 I have been able to mount the NetApp via smbfs from a Mac but cannot from CentOS 6.6 What I have in /etc/auto_smb on the Mac is: /Volumes/build_dir -fstype=smbfs ://domain_name;account_name:password at machine_name/partition_name What is the equivalent on CentOS 6.6?

Hi - My messages may not be reaching this list. Would someone at least confirm receipt of this message even if you have no suggestions/ comments re its content? I have sent several messages concerning mount.smbfs and I guess no one is using smbfs to mount a Windows machine -or- no one has encountered my problem. To recap the problem and give a solution: [problem] mount.smbfs is not working on

Hi, I am getting an I/O error while running fsstress on client samba mount point (only with smbfs) Can anyone, please look into this problem?

I have a problem with smbmount. I have a linux server running E-Smith (or Mitel SME server as it is now) which is basically a cut down version of RedHat 7.0 (running Kernel 2.2.19-7.0.8smp). Samba version is 2.0.10. We are connecting to an NT server (service pack 3 - I must upgrade that sometime soon). We have quite a good tapedrive and backup software (3rd party) on the E-Smith server, whereas

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, Need some pointers. Currently using mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Since I can only mount as root, (not in /etc/fstab) sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Problem here is.. I can't get group or world writeable permission on the share. It's a NTFS share but that is not a problem. I can

I have the 3.0.5 version of samba on my debian Sarge (or Mandrake 9.1). Im looking for explication about the kerberos support for smbfs mounting. Both Rpcclient and smbclient work fine with the -k option (Kerberos Ticket instead of user login and password) , but the command "mount -t smbfs //serverWin2k/share -o krb" return me "Warning: kerberos support will only work for samba

I apologize because I know that this has surely been dealt with and documented before, but I cannot find it anywhere on the samba website, nor did a google search produce anything. For future reference, some type of advanced search option for the mailing list archives would be great. I tried the old google "error" "site:site.to.search" and it didn't find anything

Hi all, I installed the samba 3.0.3 on a Fedora Core 2 and then samba 3.0.6-1 and still have the following problem. When I mount a smbfs, it sucesses but processes hang when they access the mount point and smbumount returns "Device busy". Since even system halt fails unmounting the filesystem, I have to switch off the machine. I tested either with smbmount command, or /etc/fstab
