I saw a strange error testing DFS today. When I connected to the server it gave out the referrals with the server hostname. Since the client wasn't configured for DNS, I had added an entry in /etc/hosts for that hostname with the correct ip address. When I ping the hostname it works ... but mount still fails and in cifs.ko I get "dnfs_resolve_server_name_to_ip: unable to resolve: ..." It looks like a locally configured (/etc/hosts) address doesn't work with DFS on Linux client. Ideas? -- Thanks, Steve
