Re: System Hangs on SMB Shares

When I use mount.cifs I get the following error:

mount error 5 = Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

Not very helpful. :-(

Greetings,

My FC2 system allows me to mount SMB shares entered in /etc/fstab/ just fine. But whenever I try to access them in the Nautilus file manager, my entire file system hangs and becomes unreachable. I can still use apps such as terminal and Mozilla, but to get file management back I need to reboot my system.

Is this a known problem?

Regards,

How are you mounting the shares? Via the command:

mount //host/share /mnt/samba -o username=whatever

I presume? If I understand correctly, smbfs doesn't work correctly in the released kernel. I believe you should mount it with type cifs such as:

mount -t cifs //host/share /mnt/samba -o username=whatever

You could also check out the mount.cifs command via "man mount.cifs"
