Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 3 -
10.3 Imaging
Situation
Unable to browse for CIFS mount point
to Make/Restore image inside IMG menu
Command to create a CIFS mount point = "mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/zenimages -o username=admin,password=******* /mnt/images"
Command to create a CIFS mount point = "mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/zenimages -o username=admin,password=******* /mnt/images"
Resolution
noserverino switch
needs to be added to the mount point command to browse the
mount point.
"mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/zenimages -o username=admin,password=*******,noserverino /mnt/images"
"mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/zenimages -o username=admin,password=*******,noserverino /mnt/images"
Additional Information
This issue is happening due to a change in the linux kernel from version 2.6.31-4 onward. To see the mount point and access the files inside it the "noserverino" option is required.
"mount -t cifs //192.168.0.4/zenimages -o username=admin,password=*******,noserverino /mnt/images"
noserverino: client generates inode numbers (rather than using the actual one from the server) by default.
