I have a windows 2000 folder that is already shared in my network. I can successfully mount this particular folder (named ‘v’) in my SuSE 9.1. However, when I try to mount a subfolder (‘test’), I receive the following error message: “mount error 6 = No such device or address”
parsing options: rw,username=administrator,passwd=******,iocha
mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//10.125.72.205/v est,ip=10.125.72.205,ver=1,rw,username=administrator,passwd=******,iocha
retrying with upper case share name
mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//10.125.72.205/V\TEST,ip=10.125.72.205,ver=1,rw,username=administrator,passwd=******,iocha
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Anyone knows why this is happening? I’ve struggled with this situation for the entire last week and do not seem to find a solution for it.

1st. SuSE 9.1 reached end of life in June 2006, you should consider
updating or consider the possibly degraded security of running so long
unpatched…
2nd. this ‘community’ doesn’t support 9.1
3rd. if you mount /v on a Linux machine it should automatically
mount /v/test and /v/[all other sub directories], right?
4rd. i know very very little about Windows 2000 or any other flavor
so, are you saying that it is usual for win2k to NOT consider
subdirectories accessible from the parent??
can’t you, once you have mounted /v just just cd to get to /v/test ??
that is, why are you trying to mount it?
that said, i see that your mount command and the reply do not match
[snip]/v/test
[snip]/v est
and suppose that has something to do with the way the folks in Redmond
try to make their products work smoothly with other Redmond products, ONLY.
finally: is win2k still security patch supported by its maker? amazing!!

interact with distant non-Linux systems…(even my games are native in
Linux)
It is not my choice to be running SuSE 9.1 and Win 2000 and I do not have the power to change this scenario. It is what it is and I have to find a solution using this environment.
If this ‘community’ does not support 9.1 any longer, then I guess I might just look into other ‘communities’.
All the other subdirectories are automatically mounted, but I need to access “test” directly. If there is any other way to address it, other than specifically sharing “test” itself, I would appreciate.
This script is being run by an application and it does not have the intelligence to “just cd to get to /v/test”.
The reason I am trying to mount it like this is to have direct access to the files under test, without having to cd.
I also noticed that the command and the reply did not match, but the command is exactly the way I (and the application) entered and the reply is also exactly the way it was printed out.

What version of Samba is running on 9.1.
smbd -V
With SuSE 9.1, I would think mount.smbfs may still be available. Have you
tried that?
I rather think you may need to explicitly share it. You could try with a
testfile to see if the situation improves.

After some discussing, it was decided that, since we could already access the folder ‘v’, to simply copy all the underfolders, instead of doing it one by one. Afterwards, we will maipulate the file structure so it can fit our needs.
I still do not understand why this situation emerged, but we were able to work around it.
