Bug 46680 – Patches to add cifs support to baselayout

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ronald Moesbergen 2004-04-03 05:14:45 UTC]

Kernel 2.6 supports a new (and IMHO better) smb based fs called cifs. Attached are 3 small patches to make using this filesystem in Gentoo possible. the samba ebuild patch is needed to make a symlink from /usr/bin/mount.cifs to /sbin/mount.cifs, because the standard mount command expects it there and won't work otherwise.

Thanks,
Ronald.

[Comment 4 Christian Andreetta (RETIRED) 2004-05-17 04:05:28 UTC]

included samba ebuild part in bug 48871. Thanks :)

[Comment 5 Sven 2004-07-23 17:25:11 UTC]

This is not an enhancement, this is critical.

On halt, cifs mounts will be unmounted after the network has been shut down. On boot, localmount will try to mount cifs stuff which is not available.

With kernel 2.6, you really shouldn't use smbfs, but cifs since it offers advantages in both: talking to a WinNT- and a Samba-server.

Thanks, this is now in rc-scripts cvs and will appear in the next baselayout

[Comment 7 Sven 2004-08-01 17:54:07 UTC]

which baselayout version will contain the patches?

BTW: the bug-report is now nearly 4 months old *sigh*

[Comment 8 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-08-01 19:12:36 UTC]

4-months is better than 4-years! ;-|  sorry for the wait.

it will be in baselayout-1.10.2

[Comment 9 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-08-02 13:09:19 UTC]

baselayout-1.10.2 released
