similar to: multiple mounts for a smbfs on the same mount point

Hi, I'm configuring samba as PDC for my network, but I'm having a few problems: 1) roaming profiles are not working, even if I've made up symbolic links in the directories, such as (for user luca): sede:/home/samba-ntprof/luca # ls -l totale 1 drwx------ 3 luca users 120 2004-11-12 17:06 . drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 72 2004-11-12 11:58 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2004-11-12

Hi, I've got two linux machines with the same distribution and samba 3 that cross-mounts a share (i.e., machine a mounts a share of machine b and vice versa). I'm experiencing slow access from the machines to the opposite mounted share and I don't know what this slow performance can be due to. I'm not running with oplocks cause the share is accessed only by the other linux

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

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

First I will apologize for posting my patch here if this is not the correct place to post a patch. I know that smbfs is being removed, but we still use it and need it to work. We have a patch to contribute back to the smbfs in the 2.6 kernel. I have noticed multiply posts on this issue and we have basically patch the smbiod.c to fix the reconnect bug in 2.6 Something we did for our patch is

Hi, all: Two questions. Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 1) mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs' With default Samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.3 installed, all the following 3 commands failed: a) $ sudo mount -t *smbfs* -o username=MYNAME,password=MYPWD //mybooklive/myfolder /media/smb/ mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs' b) /media$ sudo mount -t *cifs* -o username=MYNAME,password=MYPWD

Hello I have updated my version of how to get "nls" working in smbfs for the changes made in the 2.2.16pre2 Linux kernel (both nls and smbfs). It is now a bit smaller and perhaps cleaner (except for the CONFIG_SMB_NLS, that could be removed, and the nls_utf8 abuse :) Also, it now uses an ioctl to set the codepages to use (borrowed from the work by Artem V. Ryabov). This allows you to

Hi - [problem] mount.smbfs is not working on 3.0.0beta3; it has been working thru 3.0.0beta2. When I re-install 3.0.0beta2, it works again.

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

Is anybody can help me on this please. Can I mount a Fat32(Win XP) file system on my Linux server(Red Hat 8). I was able to mount windows 98 and not with Xp or NT. smbmount //xp/e test -o username=srai Password: 3870: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess SMB connection failed mount -t smbfs //XP/e test -o username=srai Password: 3872: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess SMB

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

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

This seems like it should have an obvious answer, but I haven't seen a clear word one way or the other in the man pages or other documentation that I have read - is smbmount's behavior in any way governed by the smb.conf file? The reason I ask is one of the other sysadmins here has been trying to figure out ways to improve smbfs performance, and he came across the speed.txt file in

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%

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.

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? Problem Description: x370 was configured for samba server & x206f as samba client. fsstress was running from two samba mount points from client i.e /SAMBA1 (type cifs) & /SAMBA2 (type smbfs). There was no load generating on /SAMBA2 & hence

Using RHL 6.0 (2.2.5 kernel) with Win95 systems, smbfs doesn't recognize (immediately) changes made on the remote the remote system by a user on the remote computer. After a share has been mounted, if some computer other than the computer using smbfs to mount the share adds/removes a file to a directory in the share, an 'ls' of the mounted directory doesn't show the new/removed

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

'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
