Hello list. I am getting on my CentOS 5 & 6 servers /var/log/messages like: Mar 24 20:54:47 server kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5
When I try to mount a Windows 2008 R2 share with: mount.cifs //server_name/share /win/case -o username='user_name',password='user_password' whereas when I do the exact same mount with IP it is successful. mount.cifs //server_IP/share /win/case -o username='user_name',password='user_password' I have checked DNS which does resolve the name correctly, added the entry to /etc/hosts (so resolver does not have to contact DNS), checked /etc/resolv.conf, added strace before command, added -av as argument all to no avail. I am just give on using the server name. This happening on CentOS 5.5, 5.6 & 6.5 with different versions of Samba and CIFS (on CentOS 6.5). Anyone have any ideas?
