Hi Folks, I've been following some guides for mounting a DFS root namespace that is known to work on Windows boxes on a fresh updated RHEL6.5 install. I can mount the shares directly from each node within the DFS cluster with no issues: [root@myserver ~]# mount -t cifs -v //node1.my.domain.com/myroot/ /share -o username=mydomainaccount Password: mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.10.1,unc=\\node1.my.domain.com\share,,ver=1,user=mydomainacco unt,pass=******** [root@myserver ~]# mount | grep share //node1.my.domain.com/share/ on /share type cifs (rw) But if I try and mount against the DFS root namespace it fails: mount -t cifs -v //my.domain.com/myroot /share -o username= mydomainaccount,domain=my.domain.com Password: mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.1,unc=\\my.domain.com\myroot,,ver=1,user=mydomainaccount,do main=my.domain.com,pass=******** mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.2,unc=\\my.domain.com \myroot,,ver=1,user=mydomainaccount,domain=my.domain.com,pass=******** Unable to find suitable address. The IP addresses 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.1 are the DNS / domain servers, not the DFS node servers, leading me to believe I'm not getting referrals to the underlying nodes. A tcpdump host against my nodes while trying to mount the share confirms this, indicating its trying to mount /share from the domain servers - which is why it fails. I've followed all the guides and as far as I can tell, this should be fairly easy by configuring request-key.d files: [root@myserver request-key.d]# cat /etc/request-key.d/dns_resolver.conf create dns_resolver * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k [root@myserver request-key.d]# cat /etc/request-key.d/cifs.spnego.conf create cifs.spnego * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall -t %k Can someone give me some pointers as to where things could be going wrong? I'm no expert at DFS, but I'd like to know I'm at least looking in the correct place. Thanks, AM DISCLAIMER.
