Re: cifs problem with kernel 3.1

Thanks to Camelón and Martin for replying.

> Is there anything in dmesg about this?

Yes.  More information:

Using the IP addressess does not help in mounting.

Mounting by hand (mount.cifs ... ) ended with the same result.

Dmesg:
[  860.895104] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13
[  881.452158] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13

When I add sec=ntlmv2 to the mount options I get 


[  593.130361] CIFS VFS: signing required but server lacks support
[  593.130472] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -95


When I change /etc/fstab from 
//stbstaff.stb.sun.ac.za/dept/let/senis /home/js/mnt/senis cifs
credentials=/etc/credentials,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 0     0

to 

//stbstaff.stb.sun.ac.za/dept /home/js/mnt/senis cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 0     0

it mounts but I cannot use it as I do not have access rights to that
directory.  Even as root I cannot access subfolders.

Also when I do this I get:


[ 1256.850000] CIFS VFS: Autodisabling the use of server inode numbers on \\146.232.129.137\dept. This server doesn't seem to support them properly. Hardlinks will not be recognized on this mount. Consider mounting with the "noserverino" option to silence this message.

To me it seems like a bug somewhere.

Regards
Johann
