smbmount & FC2

[xme]

Since I upgraded from FC1 to FC2, smbmount generates kernel error and freeze:

I upgraded to the latest RPMS, same problem (3.0.5pre1-1)

Any idea?

[deuch]

did you check your samba config ????

[sfeek]

I have the exact same problem!

Here is the work around. From what I have researched it is a race condition in nautilus that causes the hang. Do this until the bug is fixed

killall -STOP nautilus
mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/network -o username=jdoe
killall -CONT nautilus

Works good for me!

I had similar trouble with samba, and I solved after reading many threads here. Above thread explains my solution.

Your work around is tested with my FC2-x86-64 on Opetron.
My earier test shows that specifying fmask & dmask in the mounting command helps, but the repeatability is not very consistant as I subsequently found out.

Anyone with more details to add?

I use the following which may help those who want to automate this more. I created a file in /etc/samba called auth.smb and did a 'chmod 600 auth.smb'. You can type your user name and password in the file like so:

username = smith
password = whateveryourpasswordis

then open a new text file somewhere (i named mine mount-remote, but you can call it whatever) and chmod it like so: 'chmod a+x mount-remote'

type the following into the mount-remote (or whatever you named it) file:

killall -STOP nautilus
mount -t smbfs //server/share /mnt/network -o credentials=/etc/samba/auth.smb
killall -CONT nautilus

Save it and run it like an executable! (be aware you may need to be root)
