[linux-cifs-client] NT_STATUS_ILLEGAL_CHARACTER

[Howard Butler]

All,

I'm having trouble with a CIFS mount using RHEL4.  Here is kernel and 
cifs info:

>[root at kenyon cifs]# /sbin/mount.cifs -V
>mount.cifs version: 1.5
>[root at kenyon cifs]# uname -r
>2.6.9-22.EL

/etc/fstab entry:
>//XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/cssmWorking /network cifs 
>credentials=/etc/cred,auto,owner,uid=500,gid=501,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0644,domain=IASTATE.EDU 
>0 0

Mounting works ok, and I can create and remove directories from the 
mount, but when I try to read a file (or touch an empty one, like 
"touch /network/foo" in this example), an Input/Ouput error is raised 
and  NT_STATUS_ILLEGAL_CHARACTER is given in the logs.  Reading 
through the archives, I found out how to turn on cifsFYI and 
DebugData, which puts more info in dmesg.  Relevant information from 
dmesg showing the mount and the attempt to touch the file in the 
mount is below.  The mount is against an ONStor NAS gateway which is 
a member of the IASTATE domain and works perfectly well with our 
windows clients.

Another bit of information is that I can use smbclient to read files 
(have not tried creating them).  I have been unable to mount it with 
smbmount (all kinds of access denied messages no matter how much list 
advice I follow and how many permutations I try).

Any ideas?
