I am struggling to mount a remote CIFS directory on a Ubuntu system at
work. The remote folder appears to be working just fine from my
Windows 8.1 session (also at work).
I could not get normal mounting to work:
$ sudo mount -v -t cifs //1.2.3.4/network ~/z -o
username=malat,domain=MY,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),iocharset=utf8
Password for malat@//1.2.3.4/network: *********
mount.cifs kernel mount options:
ip=1.2.3.4,unc=\\1.2.3.4\network,iocharset=utf8,uid=1002,gid=1002,user=mmalaterre,domain=MY,pass=********
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
But I eventually stumble upon this ref[1]:
$ sudo mount -v -t cifs //1.2.3.4/network ~/z -o
username=malat,domain=MY,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id
-g),iocharset=utf8,nodfs
Password for malat@//1.2.3.4/network: *********
mount.cifs kernel mount options:
ip=1.2.3.4,unc=\\1.2.3.4\network,iocharset=utf8,nodfs,uid=1002,gid=1002,user=malat,domain=MY,pass=********
At least I have something working now, so AFAIK the option 'nodfs' is
a required option for me:
$ mount | grep network
//1.2.3.4/network on /home/malat/z type cifs
(rw,relatime,vers=2.1,cache=strict,username=malat,domain=MY,uid=1002,forceuid,gid=1002,forcegid,addr=1.2.3.4,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,nodfs,mapposix,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1)
However there seems to be something not working (related to 'nodfs'
option I guess). Here are the symptoms:
$ cd ~/z
$ ls
folder1 folder2
$ ls folder1
subfolder1
$ ls folder2
ls: cannot access 'folder2': Invalid argument
If I add `vers=1.0` to the mount command, the symptoms are slightly different:
$ cd ~/z
$ cd folder2
$ ls
subfolder2
$ cd subfolder2/
bash: cd: subfolder2/: Object is remote
I can access the folder `folder2` just fine from my Windows 8.1
session, so this is not a permission issue.
For instance I have a work around : use the DFS Referral list. So from
my windows box I navigate to the problematic "subfolder2" (symlink
icon), right click get the properties (third tab is named 'DFS'), then
go back to my Linux session, and mount using instead:
$ sudo mount -t cifs //xyzclus01-cifs.mydoma.acme.corp/Disk12
~/disk12 -v -o username=malat,domain=MY,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id
-g),iocharset=utf8,nodfs,vers=1.0
Password for malat@//xyzclus01-cifs.mydoma.acme.corp/Disk12: *********
mount.cifs kernel mount options:
ip=5.6.7.8,unc=\\xyzclus01-cifs.mydoma.acme.corp\Disk12,iocharset=utf8,nodfs,vers=1.0,uid=1002,gid=1002,user=malat,domain=MY,pass=********
$ cd folder2/subfolder2/
I can (finally!) access the content of subfolder2. This is quite
cumbersome and counter-intuitive. So this qualify at best as
work-around and not as real solution.
How can I access `folder2` from my Linux session ? Or at least how can
I find the magic value "//xyzclus01-cifs.mydoma.acme.corp/Disk12"
directly from my running Linux system ?

Well not on that specific system. I'll install a newer ubuntu under
virtualbox and give it a try at least for the curiosity.

I picked latest Debian bullseye installer. Here is what I have:
$ uname -rvo
5.4.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.19-1 (2020-02-13) GNU/Linux
I am observing the same behavior with regard to 'nodfs' option. I am
required to use this option to get the first mount working.
$ mount
[...]
//mydoma01.acme.corp/network on /tmp/z type cifs
(rw,relatime,vers=default,cache=strict,username=mmalaterre,domain=MY,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=1.2.3.4,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,nodfs,mapposix,rsize=4194304,wsize=4194304,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1)
For some reason I am getting vers=1.0 behavior (described previously):
$ cd /tmp/z
$ cd folder2
$ ls
subfolder2
$ cd subfolder2/
bash: cd: subfolder2/: Object is remote

I eventually stumble upon:
* https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting
Which gave me a more verbose error log I found out that:
[...]
[ 687.037593] fs/cifs/dns_resolve.c: dns_resolve_server_name_to_ip:
unable to resolve: MYSERV13
[ 687.037606] fs/cifs/cifs_dfs_ref.c: cifs_compose_mount_options:
Failed to resolve server part of //MYSERV13/network to IP: -2
[...]
Updating my resolve.conf from:
search acme.corp
to:
search acme.corp mydoma01.acme.corp
I was finally able to call mount -t cifs without the 'nodfs' option.
The symptoms are no longer an error and simply informative:
$ cd subfolder2
CIFS VFS: BAD_NETWORK_NAME: \\MYSERV13\network
[...]
I can finally access the content of subfolder2 without issue.
