Hi all

 

A real curious one this.   I have an old NAS box which only accepts SMBv1.0
connections.   I can connect to it:

Sudo mount - t cifs sharename mountpoint -o
username=foo,uid=bar,gid=foobar,vers=1.0 

 

from one of my Ubuntu jammy boxes with no problem.   A newer machine (fresh
install - but exactly the same version of jammy - identical output from
lsb_release -a) gives the mount.cifs(5) error Input / Output error with
exactly the same command that worked on the first box.   It goes as far as
asking for my password on the NAS box so it's not a connection or
permissions thing.

 

Doing a quick dmesg reveals that VFS CIFS SMBV1.0 is not recommended blah
blah blah.   Said NAS is a proprietary OS and I can't patch it to go beyond
v1.0

 

So looks like there's some sort of setting on the working box that's not
being replicated on the non-working box.   Both contain the same version of
samba (i.e. samba -version) throws up the same response on both boxes so I'm
a bit stumped.   This is a difficult thing to google for as there are so
many parameters: most references to samba v1.0 seem to be for those trying
to get their new server to speak v1.0 whereas I'm trying to get a client to
connect.

 

As ever - thanks in advance.

 

Rob
