I ran into this problem when using a host name and solved it by using an IP address. E.g.: use mount -t cifs //192.168.1.15/share rather than mount -t cifs //servername/share Another possible solution is to install cifs-utils .
Yes, Docker is preventing you from mounting a remote volume inside the container as a security measure. If you trust your images and the people who run them, then you can use the –privileged flag with docker run to disable these security measures. Further, you can combine –cap-add and –cap-drop to give the container only … Read more
ok, i’ve re-read your question and have another answer. when you mount it in /etc/fstab or with sudo mount from the command line, you need to set the uid and gid and optionally the umask too (file_mode and dir_mode) so that local users on the client can use the share. otherwise, it will default to … Read more
I would highly suggest AutoFS. This will dynamically mount and unmount your network shares in the background, all transparent to the user. I used to have problems with unmounting and remounting mobile devices until I made the switch. Unfortunately, there are far too many guides which overly complicate autofs setup. Assuming you’re on an Ubuntu … Read more
I did find a way to do this. Hopefully this helps someone else looking for the same information. On the server, open a powershell then enter this command: Get-SmbSession | Select-Object -Property ClientComputerName,ClientUserName,Dialect For more verbose output: Get-SmbSession | Select-Object -Property *
There should be an /etc/auto.smb already, use that, and add the following line to /etc/auto.master: /cifs /etc/auto.smb –timeout=60 Now all cifs shares will show up under /cifs: ls /cifs/<server> will show all the shares available. You might want to put some options in /etc/auto.smb to mount with specific modes. I have a auto.smb that I … Read more
I use lazy unmount: umount -l (that’s a lowercase L) Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)
This is an oldie, but considering it’s unanswered and I was looking into IPC$ and Samba, I will give it a try for the sake of documentation. Why would smbd not clean up IPC$ shares? As stated above in the comments to your question, the service is used for remote administration and communication among servers, … Read more
By default, the samba (cifs) package on some distributions doesn’t use the hosts file to resolve the name. Instead, it uses the NetBIOS name to resolve to the IP. There are two ways to go about this: Set samba to use the hosts file for resolution. In your smb.conf file, find and modify or create … Read more
I have the same problem because my password contain comma symbol (i.e. “PASS,WORD”): $ sudo mount -t cifs -o domain=mydomain,username=myuser,password=PASS,WORD //server/share localfolder mount error(22): Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) At first, you should try enable verbose mode (–verbose option): $ sudo mount -t cifs -o domain=mydomain,username=myuser,password=PASS,WORD //server/share localfolder –verbose … Read more
