  • mount error(112): Host is down

    Posted on

    Got the following error when trying to mount a CIFS file on RHEL 6.5:
    [root@tama etc]# mount -t cifs --verbose -o username=goldengate_DBA //lacsqltzgprd4/GoldenGate /mnt/GoldenGate
    Password:
    mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.50.243.13,unc=\lacsqltzgprd4\GoldenGate,,ver=1,user=goldengate_DBA,pass=********
    mount error(112): Host is down
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

    It has been working fine until now. Not sure if it's a coincidence, but the problem started after we did the Kerberos password change over the weekend.
    Thanks.
