Description of problem: Since upgrade to kernel 2.6.17-1.2139_FC4 I'm no longer able to mount a remote samba share from a Solaris server running samba 2.0.7. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel(-smp)?-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4 samba-client-3.0.14a-2 How reproducible: Requires a UNIX system offering a share (using samba 2.0.x?) Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount -t smbfs -o ro,guest //Tunix/PCHome /mnt/tunix ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page smbmnt failed: 255 2. mount -t cifs -o ro,guest //Tunix/PCHome /mnt/tunix mount error 5 = Input/output error Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) Actual results: smbfs is not included anymoure in the kernel and cifs aborts with error 5 (Input/output error). Expected results: The mount will succeed as with previous kernels.
fixed in cvs, will be back in next update.
Confirmed, smbfs is back in 2.6.17-1.2141_FC4. Thx, Peter
smbfs is not supported in latest FC5 kernel (2.6.17-1.2145_FC5). Is it not included in FC5 anymore? I cannot mount Win98 shares with cifs.
no, its intentionally dropped in fc5, due to lack of upstream maintenence. if it doesn't work, file bugs.
