Hi, I want to know the current status of support for mounting DFS shares. I found this posting: http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs-client&m=123357912319175&w=2 which at the end says: > Problem 1 is almost solved, I just need some time to cleanup > patches I've written. I think, that my problem is related. Here is, what I tried: On a samba server I have two shares: [dfs] msdfs root = yes # symlink exists: /home/dfs/share1 -> msdfs://otherserver/someshare path = /home/dfs [share2] msdfs root = yes msdfs proxy = \otherserver\someshare Both Windows and smbclient can access these shares without Problems. After configuring /etc/request-key.conf I can mount with mount -t cifs //someserver/dfs/share1 -ouser=someuser /mnt I can see the files of //otherserver/someshare under /mnt as expected. But Mounting with mount -t cifs //someserver/share2 -ouser=someuser /mnt I get retrying with upper case share name mount error(6): No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) The mounts were tried on: /proc/version Linux version 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@ls20-bc2- 14.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 17:01:01 EST 2011 Thanks for any help Cheers Heinrich -- Heinrich Mislik Zentraler Informatikdienst der Universitaet Wien A-1010 Wien, Universitaetsstrasse 7 Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14056, Fax: (+43 1) 4277-9140 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
