https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404674 Summary: mount -t cifs fails with "mount error 20 = Not a directory" Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Samba AssignedTo: samba-maintainers@SuSE.de ReportedBy: mikecoan@woodlawnfoundation.org QAContact: samba-maintainers@SuSE.de Found By: Customer
From my workstation, which runs opensuse 11.0 x86_64, I am trying to mount some shares on a Samba server running opensuse 10.2. From another workstation running opensuse 10.3 the shares are mounted without any problem. Normally I mount these shares via /etc/samba/smbfstab. This fails on opensuse 11.0.
Mounting manually I use the following command (all on one line) mount -t cifs //ipnumber/pubdata /mnt/Shire/pubdata -o user=mikecoan,uid=mikecoan,gid=users,rw this prompts for my password. I enter the password and get the following error message. mount error 20 = Not a directory and advice to consult the man pages. Googling reveals that this problem is not limited to openSUSE. The workaround is simple. Issue the following command echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled After issuing this command I can manually mount and everything is fine. After any reboot, however, the default value of /prco/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled goes back to 1. hardly a major problem, but I would like to be able to automount the shares via /etc/samba/smbfstab rather than having to do it manually. I have tested this through several reboots and it is reproducible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
