[B]RHEL & CENTOS: What Is The Best Practice For Mounting NFS/CIFS/DISKS[/B]

I am practicing mounting NFS/CIFS/ISCSI/and .ISO loops on Centos 6.4

For NFS/Cifs, I am creating root directories to mount to
(/Samba /NFS_Share)

Should I be doing this instead?:
(/mnt/Samba /mnt/NFS_Share)

Samba Mount Headache

I banging my head, I am unable to mount samba share. Here is the info
Samba share is in RHEL 6.5
# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[sambashare]
comment = samba share
path = /smbdemo
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

# ls -dZ /smbdemo/
drwxrwxrwx. root root system_ubject_r:samba_share_t:s0 /smbdemo/

# getsebool -a | grep samba
samba_create_home_dirs --> on
samba_domain_controller --> off
samba_enable_home_dirs --> on
samba_export_all_ro --> on
samba_export_all_rw --> on
samba_portmapper --> off
samba_run_unconfined --> off
samba_share_fusefs --> off
samba_share_nfs --> off
sanlock_use_samba --> off
use_samba_home_dirs --> off
virt_use_samba --> off


Accessing this share from another Red Hat Box 6.4 (samba-client)
# smbclient -L 192.168.1.10 -U don [Works perfectly]

Now, when I try to mount the share as:

# mount.cifs //192.168.1.9/smbdemo /opt/test/ -o user=don
Password:
Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

# smbclient //192.168.1.9/smbdemo -U don
Enter don's password:
Domain=[BARNES] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.23-14.el6_6]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

I searched in google but no avail.

Sharing Folders And Mounting Shares With SetGID / Samba

OK this is kinda long, so I will shorten it as much as I can, as to not be long-winded.

My current network at home:
1 - CentOS 7 desktop (server)
1 - Ubuntu 14.04 desktop
1 - Fedora 21 laptop
2 - Windows 7 desktops
some other various windows boxes also that don't get used regularly, but are on the network.

My 2 Linux desktops (which I use as servers, but they really aren't) have shared folders on them, which I share to the network via Samba (CIFS). I use Samba because Linux is smarter than Windows and Windows won't read NFS, so I share them as Samba so all devices can see them.

Generally speaking, if I share the folders on each box as 0777, I have no issues. But lately I have been wanting to implement some better security, so I wanted to SETGID and chown the shared folders from the local machine to a specific group, then change the folders to 2774.

My problem is that I keep getting permissions errors when trying to connect from the other Linux machines, and sometimes the Windows machines also. My main question is: do I CHMOD 2774 the local mount-point before mounting it? Or so I CHMOD 2774 the shared folder on the other server, then mount it locally to a folder whose permissions are different? Or do I CHMOD both of them the same?

basically the uis and gid ownerships change on a local folder when I mount a shared drive to that folder, so when I try to write or sometimes read that local folder, I get permissions errors.

I can provide any additional info needed.

Mount Error 115 On Some Shares

Hi there guys,

I hope you can help me with a small issue that is kinda driving me crazy.
I'm running debian wheezy on a virtual machine and trying to mount some shares from the win8.1 host.
The lines I put in the /etc/fstab a
Code:
//192.168.0.10/dir1 /home/user/dir1 cifs credentials=/root/.secret.pwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
//192.160.0.10/dir2 /home/user/dir2 cifs credentials=/root/.secret.pwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
//192.160.0.10/dir3 /home/user/dir3 cifs credentials=/root/.secret.pwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

The first share gets mounted correctly, but not the other two.
This is the output I get when sudo-ing a mount -a:
Code:
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

and this is what /var/log/syslog shows:
Code:
Mar 24 12:56:12 hostname kernel: [ 1887.029043] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
Mar 24 12:56:12 hostname kernel: [ 1887.030013] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -115
Mar 24 12:56:22 hostname kernel: [ 1897.052130] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
Mar 24 12:56:22 hostname kernel: [ 1897.053885] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -115

The same happens at boot time.

Now, the crazy thing is that if I run manually a:
Code:
sudo mount //192.168.0.10/dir2 /home/user/dir2 -t cifs -o credentials=/root/.secret.pwd,uid=1000,gid=1000

it works perfectly.

Now, I'm no power user, but I thought I'd be able to manage a couple of simple cifs shares...but then again I guess not
So, my questions so far a
1. how the heck do I make that work?
2. why is it not working? Might be the security? Should I choose perhaps ntlmv2? I read a bit around but I don't know this kind of security mechanisms, so...
3. why on earth is the first mount working just like a charm and not the other two?

You know what? I'm trying now to remove the sec option from the fstab, and see how that works out.

In the meantime, if anyone could lend a hand I'd appreciate it very much

Auto Mount 2 Hard Drives Attached By USB To Router

Hi all. My first time post and very new to linux.
I am using linux Mint Debian version.

My goal is to auto mount 2 external harddrives (Each hard drive is 2TB) attached to the 2 usb ports on my asus wireless router model rt-n56r.

I have succeeded in auto mounting my first drive HDD1 by configuring fstab file:

//192.168.1.1/HDD1 /media/public cifs username=**,password=**,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

At boot this partition is mounted without issue.

In attempting to mount the second hard drive HDD2 I added another entry in fstab as follows:

//192.168.1.1/HDD2 /media/public cifs username=**,password=**,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

It appears that both HDD1 and HDD2 mount however, when entering the partition only files and directories of the second hard drive appear.

So I changed the mount point in the second hard drive to reflect /media1/public1 and after the configuration neither hard drive appears to have mounted.

I tried using UUID instead of path to partition but cannot get even 1 attached hard drive to mount.

I appreciate in advance the help and assistance to my query.

Trouble Mounting Network Drive On Wandboard/Arch

Hi. I've installed Arch Linux on a Wandboard running Logitech Media Server (LMS). LMS needs to read my music files off of a NAS network share. I can't figure out how to mount that network share.

I was told by someone who has a similar NAS to make the following entry in etc/fstab:

//192.168.10.15/media/Music /mnt/netdrive cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,user=nobody,password="",iocharse t=utf8,noperm,nounix,nobrl 0 0

But when I start LMS and point it to /mnt/netdrive, my media/Music folder isn't shown. Is there a problem with the way I'm trying to mount the network share?

I've tried using "root" and "admin" as username and the admin password of the NAS as password, but still no luck. I've tried mounting the share manually, but I get a "permission denied" error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rsync Without A Checksum Check? Centos 7

Hi All,
I am trying to perform an rsync without a check sum verification at the end of the copy.

I have tried both the -W (whole file) and the --no-checksum option and at the end of both file copies it performs a verification.


Code:
[root@centsrv01 /]# nice -n 20 rsync -avz --no-checksum  --bwlimit=2000 --progress /opt/vidconvert/converted/testfile.mp4 /opt/RouterUSB/TV/ChromeCast/
sending incremental file list
testfile.mp4
  1400440237 100%    1.94MB/s    0:11:28 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1)


I am copying from an XFS filesystem to a NTFS (CIFS) file system to a Samba share. Unfortunalty NFS is not an option.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Can't Access Windows Share From Linux

Hi all. I can't connect to my Win 8.1 box from Linux Mint. I can ping the Win box successfully. I can access my Linux share from my Win box. It seems like the problem is with windows. I've been working on this problem for about three days now with no luck. I've uninstalled Norton Security in my Win box. I've deactivated Microsoft's firewall. Not helping. My smb.conf is:

[homes]
read only = no
security = domain
workgroup = WORKGROUP

[share]
comment = Shared Data
path = /home/gary/share
gues ok = yes
writeable = no
browseable = yes

To make things simple i created only one shared folder on my Win box, asm. On Linux i type: sudo mount.cifs //GARYZ97/asm /home/gary/share -o user=Gary ; Gary is apparently my correct Windows username. BTW, i've also tried gary.
Linux responds with: [sudo] password for gary: jj ; this is my correct sudo password
Next response is: Password for Gary@//GARYZ97/asm: ; here i have tried my Microsoft Account password; i've tried just hitting enter; i've tried jj my Linux password. I'm at my wits end. What am i doing wrong? I've googled so many different sites but no one seems to have the problem i have. Please help. I don't want to pull out all my hair. I can access my Linux share from Windows, edit it, save it, and i see the changes on my Linux box. I know i'm being repetitive here but i just can't access my Windows share from Linux. I have run testparm on smb.conf and no problems there. Almost forgot. After entering what i believe is my correct Windows password i get: mount error(115): Operation now in progress, and then on the next line, Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
