Two problems with smb2-only shares. client: ubuntu 11.04 32-bit I moved the original mount.cifs (version 4.5)to mount.cifs.old, and installed mount.cifs version 5.0. $ uname -r 2.6.38-8-generic $ /sbin/mount.cifs -V mount.cifs version: 5.0 $ /sbin/mount.cifs.old -V mount.cifs version: 4.5 Server1: windows 2008 64-bit (standalone) disable smb1 protocol to make it smb2 only (e.g., add reg value smb1 and set it to 0, restart Lanmanserver service. see http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/05/30/two-minute-drill-overview-of-smb-2-0.aspx) $ sudo /sbin/mount.cifs -v -o user=user1,pass=XXXX //AA.BB.CC.DD/C$ mnt mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=AA.BB.CC.DD,unc=\\AA.BB.CC.DD\C$,,ver=1,user=user1,pass=******** mount error(112): Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) syslog: Jun 10 14:18:26 ubuntu-1104 kernel: [10703.059510] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112 * before I disabled smb1 on server1, the same command can mount the share of the same machine successfully. * same result if I used /sbin/mount.cifs.old. Server2: Mac OS X 10.7 (LION, Preview 4) Apple replaces samba with their own smbx which speaks SMB2. $ sudo /sbin/mount.cifs -v -o user=user2,pass=YYYY //EE.FF.GG.HH/Misc mnt mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=EE.FF.GG.HH,unc=\\EE.FF.GG.HH\Misc,,ver=1,user=user2,pass=******** mount error(22): Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) syslog: Jun 10 14:27:06 ubuntu-1104 kernel: [11222.340976] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22 * same result if I used /sbin/mount.cifs.old. * the same command works with prior version of Mac OS X (which uses Samba). Any suggestions? Thanks.
