Public bug reported: mount.cifs fails to mount a DFS linked share on 12.04, this behaviour worked fine on 10.04.
The DFS structure is: \\SERVER1\TEST\SHARE-LINK which goes to \\SERVER2\LINKED-SHARE . Mounting running: $ sudo mount -t cifs //server1/TEST/SHARE-LINK /mnt/dfs-mount -o user=Administrator ..fails on a precise machine, while it works on lucid. My tests show that: 10.04 | mount.cifs works on oneiric and precise kernels. 12.04 | Stock kernel fails with both precise's mount.cifs and with lucid's mount.cifs compiled. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Package changed: samba (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036647 Title: mount.cifs fails on mount DFS linked share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1036647/+subscriptions -- 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
