Having an issue with the CIFS VFS module. One of our fileserver has a directory structure with hard drives mounted into that directory structure, so --> C:\volumes\case\1 is a hard drive C:\volumes\case\2 is a hard drive If I share out and mount up the volumes folder, I can see the case folder, and if I navigate into that folder it shows '1' and '2' as links to nothing

First: this is my first post on this list so any suggestions, let me know. I recently had to make the move from SMBFS to CIFS when I upgraded from Fedora 4 to 5. Changing settings in my /etc/fstab was easy and no errors come up but now I'm having an issue very similar to post I found on your list that got no response back in April: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119813.html

My LAN includes a server machine running FC4, with several shares mounted with Samba. Yesterday, I upgraded the packages on the FC4 machine, and these included Samba, which is now at 3.0.23a. Unfortunately, this seems to have broken the mounted shares for my Ubuntu 6.06 installation on my Acer 1682WLMI laptop. The cifs module on Ubuntu reports as version 1.39. The symptoms are that I can

Hi I need to mount a windows share on a CentOS 4.5 box running stock kernel etc - I have tried using cifs and also smbfs My fstab looks like //share/name /mount/point smbfs username=user,password=password,uid=useridhere 0 0 or the same using cifs When i try and mount that i get the following errors depending on the share type smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported CIFS

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

Hello While the mounting process is successful, the behavior of remote directories and files is different under CIFS than SMBFS. Here are some of the issues I have encountered: 1) When doing a "file" on a file mounted under SMBFS, it gives a standard output depending on the file type. For the same file under CIFS, it gives the same information with "setgid sticky" before

hi, i've always been using mount -t smbfs and recently "upgraded" to mount.cifs because i have a very aggressive application which always killed the smb connection (getting timeouts, ...). my setup: * some passwordless public/guest shares * one admin share over a x-over link to be able to use the admin share i had to switch my server from "security = share" to

Hello, I have noticed some ALC issues with files and directories. I use samba server 3.0.33 on CentOS 4.8 joined to Windows 2003 domain. Everything works fine, all users are authenticated to domain controller. My aim is to give FULL ACCESS (open/read/write/rename/delete..) to directory "testdir" to two users, john and mark without using groups because I have no permissions on domain

I recently discovered the 2GB file limitation using the smbfs filesystem and switched to the CIFS filesystem for my Samba mount. Since the switch I have not been able to get the permissions right for the mount. Specifically I am using the following commands in /etc/auto.mnt to mount the remote share using automount home2/ -fstype=cifs,uid=500,gid=100,credentials=/home/user/

Hi all; When I access the data hosted in that share using others mount ways (except the smbmount/mount.cifs/mount -t smbfs/mount -t cifs) all works fine, downhere a benchmark: 1) Transfer a 500 mb file: netcat - 27 seconds ftp - 31 seconds smbclient - 38 seconds mounted (cifs) - 2:58 minutes I'm having a big problem with delay mounting a share using smbmount or mount -t cifs. First

This may be sorta off topic considering this is probably regarding the linux kernel but I am hoping someone here will have the answer anyway. I am having the strangest problem when mounting a samba share with "-t cifs" as opposed to "-t smbfs" where, instead of mounting as the user I am logged in as, it is mounted as if I were logged on as a completely different user. For

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

I'm having a problem when I try to mount a CIFS share on a Samba 3.0.5 server from a Samba 3.0.2 workstation. When I type: mount -t smbfs //ip-address/share /mnt/point -o username=username,domain=DOMAIN It mounts, and I get no errors whatsoever. I can do almost anything I want (except for symbolic links and hard links, which is why I want CIFS). When I type the exact same thing, but change

Hello folks, we have a samba 3.0.22 running and it serves our windows and linux clients with shares for home and group directories. The group share is set up with a preexec script to check the groups of the connecting user and create symlinks to the corresponding directories on the file server. The script looks something like that: #!/bin/bash # some things here # $1 is the connecting user for

Hi (this is most likely a newbie question). A couple of problems. I have a linux guest (puppy) running on vmplayer on a friend's machine, which runs WinXP home. I have folder sharing enabled on the host for a few different folders. I am trying to mount the winxp host shared folders onto the linux guest. First problem is that I can't seem to see the shares. smbtree only lists the

I periodically see smbfs questions get asked on this list, and they usually get one of two responses: 1. smbfs is a kernel module; this list is not the appropriate place to be asking smbfs questions. 2. You should be using cifs instead. (Please let me know if either if these is incorrect.) I was surprised to see, however, that the smbmount / mount.smbfs manpage makes no mention of cifs as being

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a few hours now, but google searches are coming up empty. I have 3 Linux boxes all running Suse 9.1 and samba 3.0.2a. The 3 systems are: Novi - the samba server Newberry - mounting novi Sagola - mounting novi This work great, until "mount -a" is run. Each time mount -a is run, we get another mount of novi. When I type

Hi everybody, I want to use my samba-shared Homedirectory from my Linux-Server on my Linux-workstation. I was using smbfs until now, but since i upgraded my hardware i'm not any more able to use smbfs, i get error-messages (timeouts) in the kernel logs and I/O-Errors on the console. Having this problems i read about cifs and that's much better, nicer, sexyer and faster than smbfs.
