I have noticed this problem too.
For me, whether the delay occurs or not depends on which mount
options I use. The behavior below has been 100% reproducible for
me so far.
(My client is Centos 4.4, but the fileserver is running Win2003 SP1.)
This combination of options always takes 30 seconds to mount:
# date; mount -t smbfs //WINSERVER/TestShare /mnt/TestShare -o ro,ip=192.168.1.9,workgroup=TESTNET,username=guest,password=; date
Sat Oct 14 06:49:54 EDT 2006
Sat Oct 14 06:50:24 EDT 2006
# umount /mnt/TestShare/
However, if I add certain extra options (e.g. nodev, dmask/fmask, etc)
the delay vanishes:
# date; mount -t smbfs //WINSERVER/TestShare /mnt/TestShare -o ro,nodev,ip=192.168.1.9,workgroup=TESTNET,username=guest,password=; date
Sat Oct 14 06:51:34 EDT 2006
Sat Oct 14 06:51:34 EDT 2006
# umount /mnt/TestShare/
# date; mount -t smbfs //WINSERVER/TestShare /mnt/TestShare -o
ro,dmask=750,fmask=640,ip=192.168.1.9,workgroup=TESTNET,username=guest,password=; date
Sat Oct 14 06:52:19 EDT 2006
Sat Oct 14 06:52:19 EDT 2006
# umount /mnt/TestShare/
Taking out those extra options, the delay returns:
# date; mount -t smbfs //WINSERVER/TestShare /mnt/TestShare -o ro,ip=192.168.1.9,workgroup=TESTNET,username=guest,password=; date
Sat Oct 14 06:52:52 EDT 2006
Sat Oct 14 06:53:22 EDT 2006
# umount /mnt/TestShare/
I had assumed the problem had to be on the Windows side of things. :-)
