similar to: DFS Shares (Clustered)

Good Day, We use a lot of DFS Shares (Windows) across our Linux Servers. The DFS Shares are setup in a Cluster. Over the weekend we did a DR excercise which included shutting down one of the Servers that hosted the DFS Shares. What we found is that any Linux Server that had associated itself with the DFS Server that was shutdown did not try and connect to the remaining Server that was up. Is

I am wondering if anyone has had a chance to look at bug 12518? This is the context of the message: Wireshark trace gives a STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER when running smbclient -c 'cd <dir>;ls' as a standalone program. This is a customer issue. We cannot recreate this issue so we're looking for why this may be happening. From the trace you'll see multiple sessions with

DFS links do work like this: serverA_msdfsrootYES => serverB_msdfsrootNO But not like this: serverA_msdfsrootYES => serverB_msdfsrootYES Somehow the destination having 'msdfsroot yes' prevents the cifs kernel module from

This issue is reproducible for this customer and a couple of others. We execute the smbclient command the same way for each instance. The null user name is valid syntax sent from the smbclient. When we send the command " smbclient -c 'cd <dir>; ls' ", samba code executes starting with Negotiate Protocol Request, and onward. I'm guessing this could be a DFS issue, but

Re-sending with right email... msdfs root is set to "no" by default and is per-share. [myshare] msdfs root = no path = ... Should do the trick. Otherwise if mounting on linux you can also use the 'nodfs' mount option (mount.cifs //host/share/... /mnt/ -o ...,nodfs) to disable DFS resolving and automatic sub-mounting. Chad W Seys <cwseys at

Hi, Is there a place where I can specify defaults options a for "mount -t cifs"? I would like to change the default protocol version to vers=2.1 Is there something like a cifs.conf or such...? MJ

Hi Aurélien, is there some documentation around where I can read about that? Where can I find the information, that I need Kernel 4.11 or above to get DFS with SMB2.0 / 2.1 / 3.0 and above working?

Hi , I want to configure DFS on standalone server on HP UX IA 64. Could you please help me on this. Thanks.

Hi all, Is 'msdfs root = yes' required in any share (along with 'host msdfs = yes' in global) where you'd like msdfs links to work (redirect the client)? Can more than one server have a share with 'msdfs root = yes'? Or can there be only one root? (Setting 'msdfs root = yes' on shares on more than one server seems to be working at the moment, but

It works great for all clients* except the linux kernel (v4.9) mount, which was what led me astray. Any idea if this works in more recent kernels? If not where do I wish list this. :)

Does os x (10.13) support negotiation of unix extensions/CIFS? When hard links didn’t work I dug in and while I found info on CAP_UNIX, and added ‘unix extensions = yes’ globally, the Negotiation makes no mentions: Negotiate Protocol Request (0x00) Capabilities: 0x00000077, DFS, LEASING, LARGE MTU, PERSISTENT HANDLES, DIRECTORY LEASING, ENCRYPTION Negotiate Protocol Response (0x00)

Hello list, a few days ago we migrated our shares to a DFS cluster, also we disabled SMBv1 protocol. Now we are no longer able to connect to the shares with our linux workstations. The setup looks like this: linux workstation -----> AD server (Windows Server 2008 R2) -----> file server (Windows Server 2016, running in 2008 R2 compat mode) I have searched the web for a solution on the
