[linux-cifs-client] mount error 5 with cifs, ok with smbfs

[Nicolas Schmitz]

Hi,
when I try to mount a windows share, I get a
mount error 5 = Input/output error
and in dmesg :
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5

The windows version is 2000SP4, samba is 3.0.22, and kernel 
2.6.8-11-amd64. It works with smbfs.

We use cifs with more than 30 other computers without problem.

I have read

and

It seems I'm not alone having this problem. Anyone has a working 
solution ? (except switching to smbfs:-( )

Thanks.
