Bug#480995: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#480995: smbfs: Fails to mount.cifs etch samba server in 2.6.25

2008-05-14 Thread Tarek Soliman
 Can you also try with the version of samba in experimental

I tried that smbfs version and no improvement.
I also tried 2.6.25-2 and that doesn't work either (with both versions
of smbfs)

Bug#480995: [Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#480995: smbfs: Fails to mount.cifs etch samba server in 2.6.25

2008-05-13 Thread Christian Perrier
Quoting Tarek Soliman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Package: smbfs
 Version: 3.0.28-2+b1
 Severity: important
 
 After upgrading to 2.6.25, I can no longer mount my etch samba server share 
 using mount.cifs from my unstable laptop
  
 The following error is given
   mount error 20 = Not a directory
   Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
 
 Booting in 2.6.24 mounts it fine.


What did you upgrade to 2.6.25?

The server, or the client?

Apparently, from what I read here and there, many changes have been
made to the CIFS driver in 2.6.25 (and the smbfs driver has just been
dropped...finally). I want at least to have as much information as
possible before reporting this to upstream and see if they can|want
fix 2.0.28 to work with 2.6.25 kernels.

Can you also try with the version of samba in experimental (for your
laptop, of courseupgrading your etch server is out of question)?
This is samba 3.2.0-pre2.

 Windows XP shares are not affected. 

 Doing the following allows me to mount
   echo 0  /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled 

This will be a kernel bug, not a bug in the smbfs userspace package.
Reassigning to the correct package.

The laptop (client) was upgraded to 2.6.25 (it is running unstable)
The etch server is running 2.6.18 (latest in etch/stable)

 Can you also try with the version of samba in experimental (for your
 laptop, of courseupgrading your etch server is out of question)?
 This is samba 3.2.0-pre2.
 

I will try that tonight.

I have another unstable box that is a bit behind (where i sent the
original bug report from) and that works fine with the laptop. I cannot
upgrade the etch server sorry.
