Hello,

I tried my best to search Google and the bug list for an error similar to this but I couldn't find anything with a resolution.  Sorry if this is a dupe.

I'm attempting to mount a DFS file share hosted on a Windows 2003 R2 server using the cifs module on a CentOS machine.  I have updated the kernel and samba packages to the newest available in the yum repository:

kernel-2.6.9-67.0.15.EL
samba-common-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.5
samba-client-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.5
samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.5

The command I'm using to mount:

mount -t cifs -o username=tempuser,password=temppass //01-fileserver/Source /mnt/source

The mount command succeeds.  However, every directory in the root of /mnt/source also lists the root of the mount.  Example, if I cd into /mnt/source/test and ls, it lists /mnt/source.  Even so, I tried writing a file to any directory and that doesn't work as well.

If more information is needed that I didn't think to provide, please let me know.  If this is a known bug then I apologize for reporting it again but I'd like to know so I know I'm not crazy.

Thanks for the help.

Is this still an issue in 4.7 ?
Comment 2 Jeremy Brown 2008-08-26 12:43:00 UTC
I'm sorry, 4.7?

CentOS' newest seems to be 4.6.  Samba is 3.x and linux-cifs is 1.x from the best I can tell.

Regardless, I will try to test again with the newest repository update ASAP and give and update.

Thanks.
