CIFS Mount

Popy — Fri, 29 Oct 2004 05:15:07 GMT

Hi All,

I have a host in which I have mounted two windows
folders using cifsmount.
I made entries in /etc/fstab too.It worked and I was able to transfer files.But intermiatnly the mounted filesystem will become unavailble.
If I do a bdf at that time it won't show the cifs filesystems, instead it will give an error
NFS getattr failed for server RPC Timed out

Actions performed so far :
I am able to ping to that windows server.
Restarted /sbin/init.d/nfsserver
Restarted /sbin/init.d/nfsclient
rpcd is running.
nfsd restarted and is running.
I am able to mount the same windows server from other hpunix hosts (using same cifsmount).

expecting your valuable suggetions

With Regards

Run a contineous ping to the server. Looks like there is some network problem and as a result client is having problem.

What does nfsstat -s says??

So you stopped/restarted nfs
and rcpd is running?
Do you have anything in /var/statmon/sm?

I would stop again all nfs services and rpc.statd daemon and rpcd daemon if still running then clear /var/statmon/sm and /var/statmon/sm.bak
and restart them all again and see if this solves...

All the best

You probably have an older version of CIFS Client on your system. Upgrade to the latest and greatest if you can.

To fix your problem:

1. do a cifsumount on the mounted CIFS Filesystem
2. If you cannot unmount do a fuser -ku on the mount point
3. do a cifumount again
4. cifsclient stop
5. cifsclient start
6. if you have your CIFS mount entries in the CIFS mount database, it should restore the mount.. else if you have it in fstab - do a manual mount.

HTH.

Hello, I have de same problem, I put all the new patches for NFS and upgrade the cifs client to the lastest (A.01.09.03), and have the same problem.

Did somebody know what could be?
