Hi, I'm having some problems with smbfs on ppc. The attached file contains all the details. Am I doing something wrong ? Hope you can help. Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net

Has smbfs worked for you with previous versions? A patch was added late to 2.4.18 and it has caused a lot of crashes for people. I don't think it is related, but since you mention 2.4.18 ... mount only prints the contents of /etc/mtab. What does /proc/mounts say? Do you have any kernel messages? (dmesg). The entry in mtab is written by smbmnt and one way to get this would be if the mount fails, but after smbmnt has written and then for some reason it fails to cleanup. /Urban ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.

Yes, smbfs used to work with recent version. Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

I never tried the previous versions of it.
mount only prints the contents of /etc/mtab. What does /proc/mounts say? Do you have any kernel messages? (dmesg).
$ cat /proc/mounts | grep smb //kara/Backup1 /mnt/backup smbfs rw,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0 It seems to be mounted. dmesg says: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noexec
The entry in mtab is written by smbmnt and one way to get this would be if the mount fails, but after smbmnt has written and then for some reason it fails to cleanup.
smb definetaly works, as I can browse it with the smb gnome-vfs module, as well as smbclient. I'm failing to see why the /mnt/backup directory just "disappears from there". $ file /mnt/backup /mnt/backup: can't stat `/mnt/backup' (No such file or directory). This is weird. Do you have any more things I could try ? Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Maybe you should.
$ cat /proc/mounts | grep smb //kara/Backup1 /mnt/backup smbfs rw,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0 It seems to be mounted. dmesg says: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noexec
Does it make any difference if you mount it like: mount -t smbfs -o username=...,password=... //kara/Backup1 /mnt/backup (should stop the "Unrecognized mount option" error)

It can disappear if the request for attributes on that directory fails. Try getting a network trace with ethereal and see what the response to the QUERY_PATH_INFORMATION request is. /Urban ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

I've mounted SMB filesystems exported via Samba (on an x86 Linux box) since upgrading to 2.4.18 with this iBook, so I can say that it Works for Me(TM). -- Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School | #linuxOS on EFnet dpates@dsdk12.net | District (dsdk12.net) | #linuxOS on OPN ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.

It did, the error doesn't appear anymore

Dammit, I feel stupid now. The SAMBA version I grabbed off some MacOS X site came with a borked smb.conf. There was a rule to veto some files only used by MacOS X (resource forks). Here was the rule: veto files = .*/Temporary Items/Desktop */TheFindByContentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/Network */ And the last bit actually vetoed all the directories, beginning with the one at the bottom of the share. I still don't understand why smbclient and the smb gnome-vfs method actually worked just fine with this share. Urban, is this actually a bug ? I'll take this off linuxppc-dev now.
