recent mount.cifs does not allow mounting of OS/2 shares, when
the share name has not been specified in uppercase.
After the first failing mount attempt, mount.cifs then converts
- host
- share name
- prefix
to uppercase and retries the mount.
This worked in former versions - but is failing now.
Using "strace" and looking at the source of mount.cifs.c
rc = mount(orig_dev, ".", cifs_fstype, parsed_info->flags, options);
i noticed that the passed "orig_dev" parameter (e.g. //server/share) was
not converted to uppercase.
I also converted orig_dev to uppercase and it was working again:
diff --git a/mount.cifs.c b/mount.cifs.c
index 497665d..3535096 100644
--- a/mount.cifs.c
+++ b/mount.cifs.c
@@ -2097,7 +2097,8 @@ mount_retry:
if (!already_uppercased &&
uppercase_string(parsed_info->host) &&
uppercase_string(parsed_info->share) &&
- uppercase_string(parsed_info->prefix)) {
+ uppercase_string(parsed_info->prefix) &&
+ uppercase_string(orig_dev)) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Retrying with upper case share
name\n");
already_uppercased = 1;
I'm not a mount expert and only had a short look at the source, but
probably this is the culprit.
Should i open a bug report for this?
Cheers, Günter
