Description Brent R Brian 2005-09-06 13:27:26 UTC

smb client (fc4) reporting errors accessing a samba share (fc1).

I have 3 fc1 machines and 2 fc4 machines.  The only one reporting
problems is configured:

  IBM TP 600e, 8139too 10/100.

She is up-to-date (via synaptic/apt-get) as of 9/5/2005.

The share is mounted at:

/mnt/smb/gateway

The file I am attempting to access is:

/mnt/smb/gateway/samba/My Family/Kirsten/homework

The errors I get are (samba log):

[2005/09/05 18:25:29, 0] client/smbmount.c:send_fs_socket(406)  mount.smbfs:
entering daemon mode for service \\gateway\all, pid=3450

I have not been able to access this folder, so far.  I can on all the fc1 machines.

I use the file browser to traverse the tree, when I click on 'homework' the
console starts logging messages (see above).

Comment 1 Brent R Brian 2005-09-06 13:29:51 UTC

The 600e is FC4.

Comment 2 Jay Fenlason 2005-09-06 14:17:44 UTC

smbfs is part of the kernel, so I'm reassigning this to the kernel 
maintainers.  Unfortunatly, smbfs is unmaintained upstream.  Have you tried 
using cifs instead?  Use something like "mount -t cifs //server/share 
/mountpoint".  cifs has maintainers.

Comment 3 Brent R Brian 2005-09-07 13:53:27 UTC

Did not know about CIFS .... will look into it.

Bugzilla 162677 may be related, I start getting my errors on a 'cd' command as well.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 07:15:07 UTC

Mass update to all FC4 bugs:

An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream
kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the
previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already.

Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary.

Thanks.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2005-11-10 20:23:56 UTC

2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2006-02-03 07:24:28 UTC

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

Thank you.
