Description Jake Tschetter 2009-02-16 18:02:16 UTC
Description of problem:

Microsoft has changed the way that file shares work on 2008 in a failover cluster.  Connection to a shared folder on a 2008 cluster without specifying the actual share name will fail.  



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. in the run dialog (gnome) enter smb://server.domain.com where server.domain.com is a member of a windows 2008 failover cluster
2. 
3.
  
Actual results:
An error screen is displayed.  "could not open location 'smb://server.domain.com'  Failed to retrieve share list from server.



Expected results:

When connecting to a share on a windows 2003 failover cluster, a password prompt is displayed and then a list of all available folders on the server is shown. 


Additional info:

I am not sure if this is really a samba problem or if it is gvfs or something else.  

discussion on similar issue involving OS X 10.4 and 10.5.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 11:07:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 07:56:12 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
