It's not clear from your comments, but I assume you're trying to do the CIFS mount on the F8 box, and the Debian machine is the samba server. What would probably be most helpful is to turn up cifsFYI and try again. On the client machine: # modprobe cifs # echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI # mount -t cifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/files /mnt -o user=xxxxx,password=xxxxx then, after it fails, do: # dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.out ...and attach dmesg.out to this case.

dmesg.out file
sorry for not being clear, yes you're correct i'm trying to connect to a debian samba server using F8 as the client. I've attached the dmesg as requested. Hmm...not much info: fs/cifs/cifsfs.c: Devname: //10.10.10.250/files flags: 0 fs/cifs/connect.c: CIFS VFS: in cifs_mount as Xid: 3 with uid: 0 fs/cifs/connect.c: Username: paul fs/cifs/connect.c: CIFS VFS: leaving cifs_mount (xid = 3) rc = 0 What version of samba-client do you have on this box? That package contains the mount.cifs program. # rpm -q samba-client ...if it's not installed, could you install it and try again? Hello Jeff Thanks for that, installing samba-client fixed it, apologies for wasting your time... No worries -- glad it was an easy one :-) |
