Sporadic fail of connection to windows share when using NTLM security
Issue
- Sometimes a previously working connection to a
CIFSshare is lost - The
lsoutput shows ? instead of showing the appropriate rights of the directory:
# ls /mnt
ls: cannot access /mnt: Permission denied
# ls -l /
...
d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? mnt
...
- The mount is done using
NTLMsecurity e.g. as follows
//server/mount /mnt/ cifs nosuid,credentials=/etc/smbmounts/creds,uid=999,sec=ntlmsspi,gid=999,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775 0 0
- Unmounting and remounting the share does solve the problem.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- Windows File Server
