mounting xp share with cifs

QNX USERS QNX6 - Applications

Hi all,

I am having trouble mounting an XP share point from a QNX 6.3.2 machine.

I am following the document here:

qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3. … -cifs.html

I have ran the fs-cifs daemon and am running the command:

mount -v -t cifs -o guest,none XP-PC:/rsync-share /fs/xpmach

(XP-PC is on my /etc/hosts file and rsync-share is the share name)

I get the following error from mount with or without the /fs/xpmach folder existing (if that makes sense).

# mount -v -t cifs -o guest,none XP-PC:/rsync-share /fs/xpmach Parsed: mount from [XP-PC:/rsync-share] mount on [/fs/xpmach] type [cifs] mount: Can't mount /fs/xpmach (type cifs) mount: Possible reason: Bad file descriptor

Anyone any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

David

If memory serves me right mount doesn’t work with fs-cifs. You need to create the mount point when starting fs-cifs.

Ok,

Got further:

Seems like smb_mount is missing from my system anyone know where I can get it from?

Strangely enough there is another post on this forum with a similar problem but I don’t understand the solution:

openqnx.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t4682-.html

Where do I find “System Administration-> System → Shared Folders” on xp.

DavidK2,

I assume the person meant the Settings → Control Panel → Folder Options and then under the View Tab you enable ‘simple file sharing’ (bottom option).

This is when you want to simply share a folder/drive without using workgroups etc.

I don’t think this is your issue though since that person was getting a slightly different error with regards to permissions.

Well I compiled the fs-cifs source in debug mode and cannot figure it out (the source was terrible, no comments, wierd variables names … etc). All I could see was that it was losing the pointer for the mount point at some point during execution. I also compiled samba 3.4.5 to see if there where some tools / utilities that would help me. I seen the smb_mount and mount.cifs mount helpers but unfortunately they built the functionality into the linux kernel so no luck there either.

Currently I’m lost, anyone any other ideas?

Thanks again.

David

Oh just noticed you are using 6.3.2 , that version is bad for me 6.4.1 solved lots of problem.
