From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2smp i686; Nav) When I mount an smb export using mount -t .smbfs //sambaserver/share /mnt/share everything seems to work fine, ie, no complaints, df reports it as being mounted. Trying to cd into /mnt/share produces cd: /mnt/share no such file or directory. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount -t smbfs //somesambaserver/share /mnt/somepreexisting/dir 2. cd /mnt/somepreexisting/dir Actual Results: cd: /mnt/somepreexisting/dir: No such file or directory Expected Results: #cd /mnt/somepreexisting/dir #ls file1 file2 file3 ..... I am using kernel-2.4.1-0.1.9smp-i686. The problem goes away if I build my own kernel (either 2.4.1 or 2.4.2) from non-rh source.
We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.
I have just verified it with our current rawhide kernel and was able to mount a smb exported filesystem using mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //server/foo /mnt/test therefore i close the bug as RESOLVED in Rawhide. Read ya, Phil
I just tried (unsuccessfully) mounting a smb export with Wolverine. The problem still exists.
