SMBFS is not Samba. Smbfs is part of the Linux kernel. I'm redirecting this to the correct maintainers. In the mean time, does it work better if you use the cifs kernel module instead of smbfs? Just changing "smbfs" to "cifs" in your /etc/fstab might do it, although you should look at "man mount.cifs" and adjust your mount options appropriately. CIFS works great, SMBFS does not. I am up and running now, but I think it would still be worth fixing SMBFS. Thanks! probably isn't going to happen in fc3 due to it reaching end of life in just a few weeks. It's possible it's already fixed upstream, in which case fc4 will have it fixed. If it's not fixed upstream however, this is a bit awkward, as smbfs is unmaintained upstream these days, (which is one of the reasons CIFS is gaining in popularity). In some future release, once the CIFS bugs are worked out, I'd like to be in a position where we can drop SMBFS completely. As CIFS works for you in FC3 I'm going to close this bug. (Bugzilla lacks a ->WORKAROUND resolution, so I'll use 'WORKSFORME' as it's the closest it has). Thanks. |
