But when I mount the dfs root on the linux server, I can only see the directories in the dfs, not the files within the directories. If I mount the shares directly, and not the dfs root, I see the files. For example:
mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx //dfshost/dfs ./dfs
mounts as directories in ./dfs all directories in //dfshost/dfs, the files are not visible. Suppose one of the shares in the dfs root structure is "someshare" residing on "somepc." Then the above command gives me a directory "someshare" in ./dfs, but I see no files. However, if I mount the share directly, as in
mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx //somepc/someshare ./dfs
I get the "someshare" directory in ./dfs AND CAN SEE ALL THE FILES.
Well, fine, I could mount all the shares individually, but that really defeats the purpose of dfs. So why am I not seeing the files, but only the directories, when I mount a dfs root?
