(cc'ing linux-cifs)

No, there's currently no support for failover with Linux CIFS DFS code.
Once it picks the server, it stays with it.

[Samba] mount.cifs ms dfs and failover

2012-07-23 Thread Sam Abed

Hello,
  I can't find any reference on if linux understands multiple targets when it 
mounts a MS dfs share, specifically if it can failover.
I can mount a MS dfs share fine, however if the server "picked" is shutdow the 
mount hangs. I tried it on a recent ubuntu to discount the "enterprise" lag.

am I missing something or is it not working
