Re: samba: mounting as cifs not working (works in Windows though)

[Mr Smiley <mr_smiley_home@yahoo.com>]

Hi

I remember now how i used it.

First you have to run a smbmount // command, this fails but  creates the cifs directory, it doesn't exist till your first smbmount command. It's a temporary directory which disappears on next boot.

then run

echo 0> /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled

and now run your smbmout command again, all should be ok


Mr Smiley


you can ;put everything back without rebooting by changing the 0 or a 1 as below

echo 1> /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled



A man with a thermometer knows the temperature. A man with two thermometers is never sure.
