Hi, I have updated my system from fc 5 to fc6 via update from dvd, not a new installation. I have a samba server on fc3 legacy, which serves 3 directories. smb.conf: [smbshare] comment = smbshare path = /usr/local/smbshare public = no create mask = 765 writeable = yes [eselshare] comment = eselshare path = /usr/local/eselshare/esel public = no create mask = 765 writeable = yes [filmshare] comment = filmshare path = /usr/local/filmshare/share public = no create mask = 765 writeable = yes I can mount these directories from my xp clients without a problem. I can mount the directiries from my fc 5 laptop via cifs without a problem. I can mount 2 directories from fc6, filmshare and smbshare without a problem, but eselshare gives me a secret: [nine@bauhaus0 ~]$ cd /usr/local/ [nine@bauhaus0 local]$ su - Passwort: [root@bauhaus0 local]# mount eselshare Password: [root@bauhaus0 local]# ls eselshare/ ls: lese Verzeichnis eselshare/: Das Argument ist ungültig the filmshare works here are my fstab entries for mounting: //fedora/filmshare /usr/local/filmshare cifs noauto,dir_mode=000,file_mode=000,uid=nobody,gid=nobody,user=nine,utf8 0 0 //fedora/eselshare /usr/local/eselshare cifs noauto,dir_mode=000,file_mode=000,uid=nobody,gid=nobody,user=nine,utf8 0 0 I have no idea where i have to search, can i switch on some dbg level? or is it possible that 1 especially windows file can cause this problem on the share? -- Nine (not 9) Never trust a hippie
