I need an acceptable mount.cifs module for Fedora Core 5 that will actually
work. Here is the current kernel version:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r
2.6.18-1.2200.fc5
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Chuck was kind enough to point this out but I don't know where to get this module. I am not the greatest at building modules and
would need some very good instructions for it. This page shows how to make smbfs modules but it does not look like something for the
faint at heart:
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~tott/FC5-smbfs-HOWTO.html
Can someone help me get the correct module please? Also a little bit of clarity for Chuck's instructions if someone has the time to
explain what needs to be done. This is not "homework", I have a working Fedora server that I use for my family website for years
with 3 FQDNs and need access back and forth to the Windows machines. Your response will be used and very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Paul

please?
We use mount.cifs with autofs. We had to use the latest mount.cifs
module though, the one supplied in our RPM distribution wasn't current
enough.
Here's the autofs config (you should be able to map this to a
mount.cifs commandline:
Here's the auto.master line:
/my/autofs/ /etc/auto.myfile --ghost --timeout=900
Here's the auto.myfile line:
site
-fstype=cifs,credentials=/etc/smbpasswd.cifs,directio,uid=myuid,gid=mygid,rw,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8
://mycifsmountserver/myshare/path
Here's the format of /etc/smbpasswd.cifs
username=user
password=password

I want to mount some of my XP shares on my Fedora Core 5 box on my home LAN and used to be able to do this with "mount -t
smbfs..."
and now that does not work anymore. I see that cifs is used instead but I am
having a very hard time getting that to work. My old
syntax does not work anymore and I am not sure of the currently required syntax
on how to do this. Previously, this worked:
mount -t smbfs //missy/MY_vids_01 /mnt/MY_vid_01 -o
username=myuser,password=mypassword,rw
(missy is in my /etc/hosts file as 192.168.0.3)
This does not work anymore, nor does it work by substituting cifs for smbfs.
Not even mount.cifs works, I get error after error, no matter what I try.
I
thought that for sure this would work but it does not...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# mount.cifs -t cifs //192.168.0.3/MY_vids_01
/mnt/MY_vid_01 -o username=user,password=pass,rw
Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet
No ip address specified and hostname not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]#
I tried again with a credential file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# mount -t cifs //missy/MY_Vids_01 /mnt/MY_vid_01/ -o
rw,credentials=/home/ohmster/scripts/cifsauth
mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]#
I don't quite understand this memory thing. I googled for it and came up with
this from some kind of Xen page:
Error: Error creating domain: (12, ' Cannot allocate memory')
* Versions: 2.0
* Occurs when: trying to start domain
* Probable cause
o allocated memory for "dom0 + running domUs + domU that you are trying to
start" exceeds physical memory
* Solution
o Reduce the amount of memory required for the new domU, or balloon
down the memory of the running domUs
What does that mean? I am not trying to run any kind of a domain server, I only want to mount a Windows share with a workgroup
name,
user name, and user password.
Does mount -t cifs or mount.cifs actually work at all and could someone please
give me an example that would work for my setup?
Worgroup=workgroup
User=user
Password=pass
XP Machine=192.168.0.3
FC5 Machine=192.168.0.1
I am pulling my hair out with this, can somebody please supply a working
example? Thanks.
