similar to: Smbmount -- text file busy?

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

I recently added a Linux box to a formerly all-Windows network, and one of the first things I wanted to get working was file sharing between my Win98 laptop and the Linux box. I got Linux to see the laptop via smbmount, and finally found how to get this to happen every time the Linux machine restarted. But (seemingly every time I turn the laptop off) the smbmount fails. Attempts to ls the mounted

I'm having some unusual results with smbmount. I've tried mounting multiple server shares from multiple servers with the same results. Here's my command line... /usr/sbin/smbmount //Gilligan/Homedir /mnt/mktg -o username=jlahners,password=xxxxxxx,debug=6 smbmount never returns however, the mount is established and I can view the entire directory structure as if the mount succeeded.

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

I am using samba to connect to a WinNT 4.0 server (NT LAN Manager 4.0) and I am not getting the correct file date/time displayed when I use smbmount (actually "ls" displays the wrong date/time after performing smbmount). If I connect using smbclient all file date/time values are displayed correctly. Here are some examples: (smbclient) Wed Dec 1 15:50:00 1999 = (smbmount) Fri Jan 02

Hi All, We changed out our main web server this morning in favor of linux/apache, and everything was working well, except that we make smbmounts to the old web server (it's xxx.xxx.xxx.51 now), the apache web server is xxx.xxx.xxx.2, and when xxx.xxx.xxx.51 died, all the machines communicating with it (via smbmount) stopped responding EXCEPT for the apache web server, which was issuing

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

Hi, I'm running RH9 with kernel 2.4.20 and Samba 2.2.8a. I can copy files larger than 2GB from Windows to Linux and vice versa through Samba. However, when I copy >2GB files from one Linux machine to another (using smbmount to mount) I get "File size limit exceeded" when 2GB is reached. It looks like the problem is with smbmount. Is there a 2GB file size limit with

Hello, I have a TDM400P with 2x2 configuration of FXOs and FXSs. I set a test extension of '444' to dial out a specific zap trunk and call a local #. First time I call out to '444' everything works fine. If I hang up the call, and within 10 seconds dial the same number again, I get a fast busy. Seems it isn't letting go of the trunk or something, and I don't have a

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'm running Linux Fedora Core 2 with Samba 3.0.3-5 installed. I'm experiencing some strange behavior when I try to mount a FAT32 share on a Win2k workstation. After a fresh reboot, when I try smbmount (or mount.smb) everything seems to work (no error messages). Then when I try to access the mountpoint - via Nautilus or by doing "ls" in a terminal - the system freezes. If I

I have a small LAN: SuSE 7.2 with Samba 3.0 and a W2K box. What I can do: I can create shares from the W2K box that make files from the Linux box visible. I can also manually mount (using % smbmount ... ) from the command line as root. Here is where I run into problems. The only way I can mount a partition via smbmount is if I use the username=user%passwd option. If I attempt to setup a .smbpw

Hi, I have got a problem with the semantics of file permissions on a file system mounted by smbmount on a Linux box (kernel 2.2.14, Samba 2.0.6, and after looking through the 2.0.7 announcement, it appears that the problem has not been addressed there). Consider the following case: I mount a share from an NT server on a Linux box, which I then use at the Linux box. I create a file on that

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

When I mount linux/windows samba shares with smbmount (command line or with komba2) I have this kind of error : [thomas@Daemon / ]$ cd Dance\ \&\ Techno [thomas@Daemon Dance & Techno]$ ls Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address cbff0000 *pde = 00031063 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<cc9f9c34>] Tainted: P EFLAGS: 00010246 eax: 00000000

I'm using Samba 2.0.6 on a Linux server. When using smbmount or mount to mount a share from an NT server, how do I set file permissions. An older smbmount allowed a -d and -f switch to set the file permissions. The newest one does not support these. The man pages for smbmount and smbmnt mention using syntax that does not work. I finally have gotten the mount command to work, but now I

Hi all, I am running SuSE 6.2 on a machine with 2 processors, so I just recompiled the kernel to pick up the second cpu. I now have problems using smbmount (2.0.5a that came with distrubution) or using the newer mount syntax (I just installed 2.0.6) to mount a share from an NT 4.0 server. After issuing the smbmount/mount command, and then going to the mount point, I get i/o errors on the

I have noticed an inconsistency with the behavior of linux smbfs mounting a remote win2k server while a file is open for writing: 1) If a linux process opens a file that /doesn't exist/ on the win2k server, while the file is open, other machines trying to read the file give the usual 'Text file is busy' (linux) or 'file is in use by another process'

Hi, I use samba on Linux 2.6 and 2G over size file sharing. It seems smbmount '-o lfs' need to use with large file. but default man page doesn't say this option. I want to edit smbmount.8.xml for lfs and unicode option. I believe using mount.cifs is right way on latest Linux. But one of the implementation smb_clients tools take this lazy option. Is it right way to change of man page

Hello, I am trying to use smbmount to mount a Samba share that is larger than 2 TB. However, the amount of disk space that is displayed from the "df -k" command for the mounted share is only 2 TB, and when I try to access the share, my terminal session hangs. Is there a limitation on the size of the share that can be mounted? Thanks, Daryl Ashley Institute for Advanded
