ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel

[maxthree]

Hi all,

I run a gentoo box with kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r9.
I get everything up and running xcept Samba.

emerged it. No probs. configged it. No probs. added it to init.d started without probs.

Problem is as follows :

from my WINDOWS BOX, I can access my Gentoo shares just fine.

From my GENTOO box, I cannot get SMBMOUNT to work


OBITWO modules # smbmount //obiwan/downloadz /mnt/downloadz -o username=maxine,password=hithere
ERROR: smbfs filesystem not supported by the kernel
Please refer to the smbmnt( manual page
smbmnt failed: 255

I emerged Sama as a module. If I try to modprobe it, I get following error :

OBITWO modules # modprobe smbfs
FATAL: Error inserting smbfs (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9/kernel/fs/smbfs/smbfs.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
OBITWO modules #

Then; when I look at dmesg, it says :

smbfs: Unknown symbol module_refcount
smbfs: Unknown symbol module_refcount
smbfs: Unknown symbol module_refcount
smbfs: Unknown symbol module_refcount
smbfs: Unknown symbol module_refcount
smbfs: Unknown symbol module_refcount

in my make_menuconfig, I think correct options are marked with M

As yoo can see in the info I pasted in my original post, I have SMB file system support compiled as a module.


I also tried compiling it directly into the kernel. Same result.

okay,

meantime, I emerged a later version of samnba and compiled NTFS support in my kernel.

Still the same prob.

Can anybody help ?

Not really an answer, but you could try the CIFS module instead, should work with win 2000 or xp

Hope this helps

tks suicidal_orange_II

I kinda got it working now ...

I needed to compile CIFS as a module, and now , I can mount my window shares .


OBITWO root # mount.cifs //obiwan/MP3 /mnt/MP3 -o username=dummy works like a charm


Still dont understand why smbmount does not work though
