RHEL 7 mount.cifs only goes 4 depths in file system

Latest response

I'm trying to mount a cifs share in RHEL 7with the following command:

mount -t cifs -o domain=xxx,username=xxxx,uid=xx,gid=xx \
//servername/sharelevel1/sharelevel2/sharelevel3/sharelevel4/sharelevel5 /mnt/X

and I get permission denied. The same command in RHEL 6 works. What was changed and can it be fixed?

Install ntfs-3g package and then you try to mount. Download ntfs-3g package from below link http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=ntfs-3g&srodzaj=3

file name - ntfs-3g-2015.3.14-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

Hello Sri Harsha Upadhya,

How woudl the NTFS-3g package solve a CIFS issue? As far as I know the NFTS-3g package allows to mount a local NTFS file system, where CIFS allows to mount a remote Windows share. Am I missing a feature of NTFS-3g?

Kind regards,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra
