I have a folder mounted by using NFS on the server. That folder has subdirectories, and I want to share specific folders to specific user groups by using SAMBA. It doesn’t work as expected, because every user can create files, but then they can only access their own files, and not the files from others. The NFS mount on the Samba server: 172.16.54.56:/export/proyectos on /proyectos type nfs (rw,noatime,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,acregmin=10,acl,nfsvers=3,addr=172.16.54.56) There’s only one folder right now: drwsrws—+ [...]

I’m trying to set up a CIFS share that will mount automatically on my OpenSolaris server. It seems like it would be simple enough, but there’s something wrong in my syntax that’s preventing it from mounting. The line in /etc/vfstab looks like: //user:password@192.168.2.1/data – /mount_point smbfs – yes – However, when I try to mount it using mount /mount_point I get an error message: mount: Mount point cannot be determined I’ve scoured the man pages [...]

From a windows208r2 client connected to a SMB/CIFS share, I move a file from one directory to another directory on the same network share. Does windows send a “move” command to the share, or does windows copy the bytes locally, write them to the new location on the same share in the new location, and then delete the original file? One would be much more efficient than the other, just don’t know how “smart” the [...]

I’m currently trying to mount a windows shared drive under linux. The machine is using windows 7 and by default it shares all windows drives if you login as an administrator. I’ve been able to login and list/copy/delete files via my android phone but I’m having a problem with mounting it on a server. The command I’m trying: mount -t smbfs -o username=MyUsername //10.0.0.2/$D /mnt/machine_1_d I think the problem comes from the $ sign in [...]

I want to rsync the files to my local linux box, but I only want files that have been created or modified within the past 30 days. I’m mounting a windows share from linux using this command: mount -t cifs //Share/public /mnt/ntserver -o username=myuser,password=’password’,domain=sub.domain.com It mounts correctly and I can ls the mount: $ mount //Share/public/ on /mnt/ntserver type cifs (rw,mand) From my research, it seems rsync can’t do this alone, but with the help [...]

I’m maintaining a heterogeneous network of mac and linux so I decided to create a little perl script to unify mounting strategies across machines. The current implementation in linux is in /etc/fstab works fine: //myserverhere.com/cifs_share /mnt/cifs_share cifs user,uid=65001,rw,workgroup=DEV,credentials=/root/.cifs 0 0 and /root/.cifs contains username=ouruser password=ourpassword I tried translating that to a non-fstab format as follows: mount.cifs //myserverhere.com/cifs_share /mnt/cifs_share user,uid=65001,rw,workgroup=DEV,credentials=/root/.cifs But it doesn’t seem to work. Can someone point out what I’m doing wrong please? Thanks [...]

I’m in the process of migrating data from a Win2k3 file server to a box running Solaris. All was going well until I started coming across nested shares. An example of this is a share that the photocopiers use to drop scanned documents into, this shared folder is located in the general staff data share. This works fine on the Win2k3 box, but I am having trouble mirroring this structure on Solaris. I checked over [...]

So how CIFS and SMB relates to each other? Are they synonyms, or components of a protocol stack? Answers with proof links are welcome. Asked by yarek They’re pretty much the same. According to Wikipedia, they are the same. According to Microsoft, CIFS is a dialect of SMB. Answered by T. Fabre Check more discussion of this question.
