hello, i have updated my system since the last 14 days to the actual versions of all packages and the new kernel 4.0.5. yesterday i have the problem, that a mounted cifs-drive hangs and i can't mount it again. i try to mount the drive to an other mountpoint without success and i can't kill the running mount.cifs because it have the state D and the log is filled with this message very 2-3 minutes: amd-k8 kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113 i use tcpdump to see if there is any network traffic to mount the cifs-drive, but i can't find any traffic. today, i mask this package and install the older packe again. with this package i can mount my drive to an other mountpoint, but not to the old mountpoint because this is blocked from the dead mount.cifs. i think, i must reboot my server to solve this problem. i don't have such a problem before i update my system, but i don't know if this is only a problem from mount.cifs or a problem from cifs-filesystem-driver. i will see what my system doing with the old version of mount.cifs and will inform you, if there are problems in the future. if this problems happens agoin, i will try the new mount.cifs with the old kernel, which i used over one year without problems. goodby Reproducible: Sometimes
please paste the output of emerge --info cifs-utils.

hello, this is not a compiling problem. my problem is that: 6402 ? D 0:00 /sbin/mount.cifs //da-ws/diskm /wfw/da-ws/diskm -s -o rw,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,noserverino,workgroup=ferdinand,username=linux,password=autoda-wsmount 8773 ? D 0:00 /sbin/mount.cifs //da-ws/diskm /mnt -s -o rw,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,noserverino,workgroup=ferdinand,username=linux,password=autoda-wsmount i can't mount //da-ws/diskm again with the new mount.cifs. you can see, i try to mount it to different mount points without success and then i mask the new version and reinstall the older version which works fine. goodby
I understand; however, emerge --info provides important debugging information in many non-build-related failures.
Is this drive mounted via fstab? Can I see that?
hello, i use automount to mount my cifs connections. i think, for the problem with cifs err -113 i find a setting, which work. i changed the security protocol with option sec=ntlm. with this option i can mount all my remote drives again. the problem with the new cifs-package ist not a compiling or install problem. there must be changed something in the source which make problems. i won't installö this package again on my server because it is importent, that this server runs without problems. it must always be possible, to unmount a cifs drive if the server for this connection is running. i can't restart my server every time to umount some hanging cifs-mounts. but i am installing gentoo on some other system this year and if this systems are ready, i can test it again. but not with kernel 4.0.5! it is also possible, that the kernel insert this bug. i have some crashes after the kernel update because ther must be a new bug in xfs-filesystem (on this drive over 100.000.000 files and hardlinks, daily delete 3% and generate new for backup), daily corrupt and at least hangs, and this crashes corrupt one of my drives with reiserfs and aktivate a bug, which i know over ten years. i hope, that the server will run without problems after my last changes. goodby
any news about this problem ?
hello, the new version 6.4 is installed on one of my servers, if there are no problems in the next time, i will install it on my master server. goodby
could you please update us if/when the situation is resolved ?
hello, i use on the system which i have get up to date in the last days automount 5.1.2 and net-fs/cifs-utils 6.4. but yesterday and today, my cifs-mounts hang. this problem happens without any network-problem or a restart of the server (xp in this case). yesterday i reinstall autofs 5.0.7-r4 because automount hangs and must be killed. today, i copy mount.cifs 5.9-r1 from my master server to this system and hope, that this will help. i hope, someboby will reinsert this version to portage. i can't reinstall this version of the cifs-tools because it is removed from portage. but it can take some time to test this on this system, because i only power it on to copy files to or from this server (nas-server with 18 harddisks). i will try to test it on an other system which can run some days and use very less of power. goodby
hello, i think, the new cifs-utils are ok, but some other things not. if my cifs-mount is idle for a longer time, it hangs. i will try to find out why. but i think also, that the new autofs-package have a bug, because the new automount hangs and the old not! i will test it on an other system. but today, a manual cifs mount hangs and after umount it, i can't remount it again. not with old cifs-utils and not with the new. after some test, i change settings and add option sec=ntlm. this solve the problem. is it possible, that the new cifs-utils or driver (kernel 4.9.23) make problems with the default security-settings and windows xp ? with my samba-server on the master-server, i have no problems to connect it. goodby
Are you still having issues with later kernels and later cifs-utils ?
hello, i must test it on my test-system in the next time. at the monent i use only version which work fine. goodby
Ok, please let us know if the situation changes.
