When you look in
man 8 mount.cifs
the explanation of the "port=" parameter reads:
"If the CIFS server is not listening on this port or if it is not
specified, the default ports will be tried i.e. port 445 is tried
and if no response then port 139 is tried."
Indeed, when specifying the port number in the mount command:
/sbin/mount.cifs //[ip address server]/[share name] /[mount point] \
-o user=[user name],password=[password],rw,port=139
a share is mounted instantaneously. This would suggest that the delay results
from contacting the server first at port 445 and only after that at port 139.
Samba servers are listening to ports 445 and 139 by default. However, most
authors recommend to keep firewall port 445 closed, e.g.
http://en.opensuse.org/Firewall_on_simple_samba_LAN. Opening this port in the
server firewall, or specifying port=139 in the mount.cifs command on the
client, removes the delay, in my hands at least.....
I have been using OpenSUSE 10.3 a lot and never encountered this behaviour
then. Perhaps, one of the samba developers corrected the mount.cifs command to
make it behave in accordance with the man page.
Regards, Paul.
