Description of problem: This is the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168280 I posted it here because I think it might be a problem in util-linux-2.12a- 16.EL4.12 and not in samba (which 168280 is posted under). Breifly - this causes a 30+ second delay:- mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx However - if, instead of waiting 30 seconds, you hit Ctrl-Z and type "bg", it successfully completes immediately (wihtout having to wait 30 seconds). Looks like the bug is related to some kind of waiting around for a signal that never arrives, and the Ctrl-Z+"bg" "hack" delivers whatever it's waiting for... # rpm -q --whatprovides mount util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.12 # mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx Password: [1]+ Stopped mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx # bg [1]+ mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx & # [1]+ Done mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx # Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.12 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx 2. wait 30+ seconds 3. mounts OK -or- 1. mount -w -t smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx 2. Ctrl-Z (immediately) 3. bg (immediately) 4. hit enter (immediately) 5. mount works right away Actual results: delay Expected results: immediate Additional info: All my older Kernels work fine (ES3) NB: this is posted here in the "Expert" bugzilla mode because the other bugzilla mode does not work right now (javascript "invalid syntax" error after collecting all my data)
Please, try it directly without the mount command: # /sbin/mount.smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx BTW, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168280#c3 sounds interesting.
Closing. It seems like a samba mount problem. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168280#c5 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 168280 ***
Oops - I posted this reply in the wrong place - here it is again:- The problem is identical using /sbin/mount.smbfs isntead of the "mount" command. Below - I issued the command, waited 30 seconds (it still did not complete) so I hit Ctrl-Z, bg, and it completed immediately OK:- [root@ca2 xxx]# date;/sbin/mount.smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx;date Thu Oct 20 13:10:58 UTC 2005 Password: [1]+ Stopped /sbin/mount.smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx Thu Oct 20 13:11:27 UTC 2005 [root@ca2 xxx]# bg [1]+ /sbin/mount.smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx & [root@ca2 xxx]# [1]+ Done /sbin/mount.smbfs //192.168.0.11/xxx /x -o username=xxx [root@ca2 xxx]#
