Public bug reported:
I'm trying to use a cifs shared directory which uses a global namespace
with several links to different servers.
When I mount the separate shared directories directly, i.e.
//server/<globalshare>/<localshare>/ everything works, but mounting the
global share only allows me to see the global links.
i.e. when I use mount.cifs:
mount -t cifs //server/<globalshare> test/ -o user=...
I get success. Then try to ls (a non-cached directory):
$ ls -l test/
ls: cannot read symbolic link test/home: Object is remote
(followed by a listing that shows the link)
Trying to ls home/:
$ ls test/home
ls: cannot open directory test/home: Not a directory
Workaround: mounting home/ directly does work, but it kind of defeats
the point of the global namespace.
While trying to browse through I also sometimes get the following message in
syslog:
cifs.upcall: Usage: cifs.upcall [-t] [-v] key_serial
But this is perhaps just cifs.upcall complaining about the key-
request.conf still containing a -c parameter, which is now deprecated,
according to the manpage.
