Strange CIFS/fstab problem

Hi,

I have the following defined in fstab:

//192.168.1.20/media1 /mnt/media1 cifs uid=500,username=jack,password=X,rw 0 0
//192.168.1.20/media2 /mnt/media2 cifs uid=500,username=jack,password=X,rw 0 0
//192.168.1.20/media3 /mnt/media3 cifs uid=500,username=jack,password=X,rw 0 0
//192.168.1.20/media4 /mnt/media4 cifs uid=500,username=jack,password=X,rw 0 0

During boot, these all fail with:
mount error = 113 : No route to host

More details in errors.log:

Jul 31 20:47:55 tmain CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
Jul 31 20:47:55 tmain CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
Jul 31 20:48:01 tmain CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
Jul 31 20:48:01 tmain CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
Jul 31 20:48:07 tmain CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
Jul 31 20:48:07 tmain CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
Jul 31 20:48:07 tmain CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
Jul 31 20:48:07 tmain CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113

However if once im all booted up i type mount -a everything mounts fine.

They are mounting after the network is started, so i dont know why it cant find a route to the host? I have no firewalls on or anything.

Any ideas?

Jack

Re: Strange CIFS/fstab problem

Are you using DHCP on the network interface on this box? Can you post your DAEMONS line from rc.conf? And the output from `ifconfig -a` please?

Re: Strange CIFS/fstab problem

thanks for the reply, Im not using DHCP no, just configured eth0 with static details.

Another unresolved issue the same by the looks of it...

I know it's not fixing the issue, just fixing the symptom, but can you add `mount -a` to /etc/rc.local to get them to mount?

Re: Strange CIFS/fstab problem

Thanks very much, I would never have narrowed it down to the wireless NIC

If thats the problem I think I will just remove it as it isnt really used.

Re: Strange CIFS/fstab problem

I recently had the same problem, but now the mounting doesn't even work with mount -a.
My network is configured by DHCP and my /etc/fstab looks like this:

//192.168.0.8/stefan /mnt/buffalo/stefan cifs users,_netdev,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=stefan,password=qasw12 0 0
//192.168.0.8/share /mnt/buffalo/share cifs users,_netdev,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=stefan,password=qasw12 0 0
//192.168.0.5/stefan /mnt/workaholic/stefan cifs users,_netdev,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=stefan,password=stefan 0 0
//192.168.0.5/daten/public /mnt/workaholic/share cifs users,_netdev,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=stefan,password=stefan 0 0

nearly the same error:

Jul 31 14:06:40 max-musterpc kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
Jul 31 14:06:46 max-musterpc kernel: CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation

Daemons:

DAEMONS=( @slim @dbus network netfs  @hal @syslog-ng @crond @alsa @samba @cron @mpd @lastfmsubmitd @lastmp )

has anybody an idea how this problem could be solved?

Re: Strange CIFS/fstab problem

I have something similar as well. It just looks like, when netfs is run, network has been 'completed' but the connection isn't actually up yet. Its not been a big deal, so I generally just mount -a and forget about it.

ironoxid,
Welcome to Arch Linux.  Note that this thread is more than two years old;  I am going to go ahead and close it.  It would be nice had the thread been marked solved.  Oh well.
