[linux-cifs-client] SMB support still missing?

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hello list,


as of kernel 2.6.20-rc7, cifs still cannot mount Windows 98 despite the 
source code containing traces that believe it could. (Existence of 
cifssmb.c) If so, what is wrong with mounting?

sk0# mount -t cifs //cl0/c /mnt/0
Password: (leave blank)
 CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 1
 CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
mount error 112 = Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

mount -t cifs -o guest //cl0/c /mnt/0
(same)

mount -t cifs -o sec=none //cl0/c /mnt/0
(same)

mount -t smbfs //cl0/c /mnt/0
(works, when giving an empty password)

mount -t smbfs -o guest //cl0/c /mnt/0
(also works)


Is 2.6.20-rc7's cifs still not able to mount it?

cifs-mount and samba, samba-client are 3.0.23d. Kernel is 2.6.20-rc7, 
CIFS and SMBFS are enabled.
