similar to: smbmount hangs Linux if Windows server goes down

(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

Hello, I have a RedHat 7.3 workstation and have created a samba mount to my samba server. Everything seems to be working ok, but when I reboot my RH workstation the mount is not reestablished. I believe the problem is that when I reboot the machine the samba share is not unmounted. After rebooting the machine when I run smbstatus on the samba server it indicates the mount is still active.

I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine. The smbfs mounted file system shows most lower-case accented characters fine; but, it substitutes underscores for most of the upper-case accented characters (and a few lower-case ones too): # uname -a Linux elm 2.4.18-8.1mdkian3 #7 Sat Aug 17 15:19:44 EDT 2002 i686 unknown (Mandrake 8.2 Linux with all

Hi I'm using Debian woody. ii smbfs 2.2.3a-12.3 mount and umount commands for the smbfs... I want to mount a W2K share as user. Mount as root works fine. The entry in /etc/fstab looks like this: //NOTEBOOK/D /notebook/D: smbfs user,username=ernohl,noauto 0 3 If I try to mount: erno@flinker:~$ mount /notebook/D: Password: cannot mount on /notebook/D:: Operation not permitted smbmnt

I've got a win98 laptop and a linux box. On my linux box, I smbmount a directory from the laptop. Alas, win98 boxes crash a lot, and I move the laptop a lot... to and from work. If the laptop crashes or if I move it with a shared directory mounted on my linux box, that mount gets "Stuck".... it's present in /etc/mtab but when I cd to it and do an ls it says: 243 emily ~>ls

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

The following scriptlet, containing a wrong password among the mount options, #!/bin/bash /bin/mount -t smbfs -o \ "netbiosname=mymachine,workgroup=group,username=user, \ password=wrongpasswd,ro,debug=4" //machine/c /mnt/dir /bin/echo "Exit $?" returns invariably mount.smbfs started (version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix) added interface ip=192.168.0.53

Hi there, after browsing the mailing list archives for several hour I still couldn't find an answer to my problem, although it for sure sounds as if many people posted the same problem. Yet, none of the threads dealing with problems like these matched my problem, so I have to start a new thread on my own. This is my system environment: Linux machine: - Mandrake Linux 8.1 - samba-2.2.1a

I'm just getting started, and getting quite a strange result. I've been able to mount my (login hal) Linux home directory as E: on my w95 system, but when I try to "smbmount //isdn2/AMDAHL-WORK /mnt/amdahlwork", where /mnt/amdahlwork is an empty directory on Linux, isdn2 is defined in /etc/hosts as 192,168.1.2, the address the W95 box uses, and AMDAHL-WORK is the name under

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

Hi, I am deploying samba for an embedded system. The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe "smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt" components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. I understand that Samba is capable of doing

I posted a previous thread about using smbmount, but I am still having some problems, using samba version 2.0.5a on SuSE 6.2. I issue the statement: smbmount //NTServer/share /mnt/test -Iaddress -Uid%pswd Afterwards, if I go to the mount directory, i.e. 'cd /mnt' and issue the command 'ls -l' I get an error message 'ls: test: Input/output error'. After that, the mount

Really odd problem that I'm having, and I'm totally clueless as to whats causing it. Scenario: 2 mounts from a W2K machine to a Linux box. The Win2k box gets powered down overnight. Obviously during this, if i do a df it freezes because it cant reach the drives. I used to be able to boot the machine back up in the morning and it would see the drives again. Not anymore. The same

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,

Hi, I am searching smbmount command on centOS 5. On, CENTOS 4.4, I used it as follows to backup data to a window PC. I want to do it on CentOS 5 now. mount -t smbfs -o ip=192.168.5.225,username=mailbackup,password=secret //server/mail_backups /mnt/maildaily I can not issue such command on centos 5. When I try , It gives below error. [root at mail ~]# mount -t smbfs -o

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%

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
