Problematic SMB Access From A Linux Client

Description

A Linux/UNIX client is trying to mount a NAS cluster solution share using SMB (using /etc/fstab or directly using smbmount).

A Linux/UNIX client is trying to access the file system using the smbclient command, such as:

smbclient //<nas>/<share> -U user%password -c ls

Workaround

It is recommended that you use the NFS protocol interfaces to access the NAS cluster solution FluidFS systems from Linux/UNIX clients. To workaround this issue:

  1. Ensure that your admin creates NFS exports to same locations that you use to access using CIFS and connect to them using mount command from Linux/UNIX clients.
  2. Use NFS-based interfaces to access the NAS cluster solution. For example, from the NAGIOS Linux management system, use the /check_disk command instead of the /check_disk_smb command.
