[SOLVED] Can't mount CIFS share after upgrade

[Razva]

Hello,

I have a CIFS share which worked great until tonight's upgrade and reboot.

When using 'mount.cifs' the share works as expected. Example:

root@pmx3-lim:~# mount.cifs -o user=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD //1.2.3.4 /mnt/pve/stbox
root@pmx3-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# ls
dump  template

So the share works properly.

Now, when using 'cifsscan' I get:

root@pmx1-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# pvesm cifsscan 1.2.3.4 --username USERNAME --password
Enter Password: ****************
root@pmx1-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# echo $?
0
root@pmx1-lim:/mnt/pve/stbox# /usr/bin/smbclient //1.2.3.4 -d 0 -m smb3 -U USERNAME -c 'echo 1 0'
Enter USERNAME's password:
Domain=[PUBLICBACKUP158] OS=[] Server=[]

On 'pvesm add cifs' I get:

create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': storage 'test' is not online

Same goes with the WebUI.

Any hints on how to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi,
You server does not answer to this call.

smbclient -m  smb3 -d 0 -L <serverip> -N

Thanks for your reply.

It does answer properly:

root@pmx1-lim:~# smbclient -m  smb3 -d 0 -L MY_CIFS_IP -U MY_USERNAME
Enter USERNAME's password:
Domain=[PUBLICBACKUP158] OS=[] Server=[]

       Sharename       Type      Comment
       ---------       ----      -------
       IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Hetzner Samba Server)
Domain=[PUBLICBACKUP158] OS=[] Server=[]

       Server               Comment
       ---------            -------

       Workgroup            Master
       ---------            -------

Note that the IP I'm posting is just a dummy IP.

Any other ideas/solutions?

Thank you!

You have to mount it manually and use it as dir storage.

That's exactly what I did and it's fine.

The main question is why did it worked until the last/latest upgrade and reboot? It worked just fine for more than 4 months.

Can you please let me know why did it initially worked, and it doesn't work right now? Thank you

I can only tell you here it is working without a problem.
I guess the configuration on the server side has changed because of the command
"smbclient" has nothing to do with Proxmox.
