similar to: smbfs and cifs

I am somewhat confused... I understand that the preferred method to mount a Samba share with a Linux client is to use "mount -t cifs" rather than "mount -t smbfs". I get the impression that smbfs is samba.org developed code where as cifs is from elsewhere. Thus the point of confusion. Why is samba.org not developing the preferred code in this case? A sub question to that

I've spent the last 2 days trying to get smbfs to mount via fstab. Using redhat 7.3 and the latest samba as of 7/17/02. I can mount from the command line using smbmount as follows: smbmount //localhost/wwwshare /smbwww -o username=smbuser,password=xxxxxxxx I can not mount from the command line using: mount -t smbfs -o username=smbuser,password=xxxxxxxx //localhost/wwwshare /smbwww The

I am having trouble mounting a smbfs mount in redhat 7.3. I have read the man pages for mount,smbmount,smbmnt, but haven't had much luck. I am thinking I am just getting the syntax wrong. If I wanted to mount a system on my network with the ip address of 192.168.0.1, What would the syntax be for this? Any info would be of much help to me, Thank-You

Hi, I'm looking for a patch to the redhat 2.4 kernel to add Unicode support to smbfs. My particular version is 2.4.26. I searched the list archives and found someone named Urban Widmark claimed to have a patch for 2.4.18, but his URL is outdated. If anyone has this patch, please let me know -- this would help me greatly. Thanks! - Julian

Hi all I am having trouble with my SMBFS and it is the following Every time I try to connect to other machine in my network, throught the command MOUNT, the folowing ERROR appears. I've already tried to see the manpage but i had not success.

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

Hi I am trying to create a boot diskette(s) that is able to mount a remote drive (on an NT server) using smbfs. I have tried doing this, but I can't fit smbd, nmbd, smbmount and smbumount all onto my root disk. What is the minimum set of files required for smbfs to work? What docs should I read to help me? I am running RedHat 6.2 (with a custom kernel v 2.2.14, ntfs and network card

Vlad. I still got the same problem - 'ls | wc -l' returned incorretc numbers. I installed the following patches with the sequence vs. the kerner 2.4.18: 1. 00-smbfs-2.4.18-codepage.patch.gz 2. 01-smbfs-2.4.18-lfs.patch.gz 3. 02-smbfs-2.4.18-unicode.patch.gz 4. smbfs-2.4.19-pre9-readdir.patch After installed patches, I ran 'make modules' and so on. Any more

This was working a couple of weeks ago, but it's broken now. When I issue a command like 'mount -t smbfs //server/share /mount/point' I get an error that says " mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //mrbig/grego$, or too many mounted file systems " However, when I issue the command 'smbmount //server/share /mount/point/ it works just fine.

'lo all Im wondering if anyone is getting the same problem with smbfs as i am with the 2.2.x kernels when i try to smbmount a share i get the following on the screen "SMBFS: need mount version 6" and also on the telnet shell or actual shell "mount error: Invalid argument Please look at smbmount's manual page...." the mans have nothing i revert back to 2.0.x and it

Hi Samba team, I feel user will feel more confortable when they can mount folder (via mount.cifs or mount.smbfs) under particular shared folder. Example: I have a share folder call department, all department's folder arrange inside so I have a share folder call \\server\department if I have a linux client under purchasing, I 2 command to get the correct place, and I feel it is giving more

Hi, i've mounted a WinNT4 share with smbmount 2.0.5a (Linux 2.2.13). All works fine: authentification via username & domain, even file creation, but somehow i get an error when i'm trying to create a file link with "ln" (equaly soft- or hard link): "ln: cannot create symbolic link: Operation not permitted." I've set the create modes and masks to 777 but it

Hi, This patch fixes "Samba Bugzilla Bug 999". The last version (2.6.8.1) of smbfs kernel module do not honor uid, gid, file_mode and dir_mode supplied by user during mount. This bug is also logged as "Kernel Bug Tracker Bug 3330". I think this stuff is related to the "unix extensions". This patch offers to the client side the opportunity to decide to use or

Is there a list anywhere of the DTrace FBT provider calls for each version of Solaris since the Nevada build that hosed the DTrace Toolkit. I have no issue with rewriting what I need, but I am hoping to stave off having to look at all the source code to find everything. I know there is a new provider under development, but I need to be able to program DTrace routines for all the updates in

After mounting a windows share via cifs I have came across the same issue as described here: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119813.html "While using vim on files mounted under CIFS, when trying to write an existing file you will randomly be warned "The file has been changed since reading it!!!". Normally, this only occurs when another user accesses and saves the

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
