[Bug 286828] Re: Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10
A warning about the msdfs root = no workaround: This broke some of the drive mappings on Windows clients. Shares that are mapped via NET USE (like in a logon script) don't seem to be affected - a name is a name - but connections manually set up through the GUI seem to store some additional information and had to be reconnected manually. So much about network transparency *sigh* I took the occasion and set up a logon script which does all the mappings. This repaired some of the broken mappings automatically, but some mappings still had to be disconnected manually. There seem to be some other factors involved. Very weird. I still think disabling an unused and broken feature is a good idea anyway, but do some thorough testing and be prepared for having to fix some issues manually. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Another workaround: set msdfs root = no on affected shares or in the [global] section of smb.conf. If you don't use DFS at all you can also disable it completely with host msdfs = no. This also made UNIX extensions finally work. Note that I had to remount all shares to get things working. I don't use DFS, so I can't tell what effect mixing DFS shares with non-DFS shares will have. This approach has the advantage that you don't need any changes on the client side, even when the nodfs option will be available - useful if you have a lot of clients to fix. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 286828] Re: CIFS share broken after upgrade from 8.04 - 8.10
I can confirm that shares work with kernel 2.6.25 from the intrepid repos. I still had to mount the shares with the nounix option. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ports/+bug/291487 if you need to compile kernel modules with the 2.6.25 kernel. Downgrading the kernel and/or disabling UNIX extensions may not be an option for everybody. Any chance to get the patches mentioned in comment #26 into the repos? For completeness, here's the info from /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (with kernel 2.6.25 on the client side): CIFS Version 1.52 Active VFS Requests: 0 Servers: 1) Name: x.x.x.x Domain: X Mounts: 2 OS: Unix NOS: Samba 3.0.24 Capability: 0x80f3fd SMB session status: 1 TCP status: 1 Local Users To Server: 1 SecMode: 0x3 Req On Wire: 0 MIDs: Shares: 1) \\servername\share Uses: 1 Type: NTFS DevInfo: 0x0 Attributes: 0x2b PathComponentMax: 255 Status: 1 type: 0 2) ... -- CIFS share broken after upgrade from 8.04 - 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
