LION CIFS shares broken in finder

Since the upgrade to lion I cannot consistantly copy files to/from CIFS shares on my Solaris server. This still works perfectly on all my Snow Leopard machines, but Lion continually gives errors when working with the network drives (the most common error is the "unexpected error occurred - error code -50")
Finder will consistantly give this error when copying/moving files between network shares, but the trusty terminal will copy the files without fail or errror.
I've already tried the nsmb.conf  streams=no fix, but no joy...

All you can do is submit a bug report to Apple. Apple reimplemented Samba in Lion. I'm sure the goal was interoperability with Windows. They probably didn't care much about interoperability with someone else's reimplementation of SMB. Can you use NFS instead?

  • Mac not seeing SMB/CIFS shares that others computers can see

    I set up a test that fails. There are three computers
    1) A Mac running "Tiger"
    2) PC running Windows 2000
    3) A Linux server running Samba
    Both Win2K and Linux export some SMB/CIFS shares
    The Mac can "see" the Win2K shared files but when the Mac tries to connect to the Linux server the finder hangs and has has to be killed. Going to a terminal on the Mac and I type "smbclient -L <Linuxsevername> I see all the services on the linux machine. So I try "smbclient //rabbit/wsfiles/" (Where the names rabbit and wsfiles where cut and pasted from the smbclient -L output.) and I get an "Invalid network name" error. Yes, I have cnnectivity to "rabbit", ping, ssh, X11 and FTP work fine
    On the Win2K PC I can access the Linux shares
    The Linux server can access it's own shares using "smbclient"
    Linux Samba must be working because I can access the shares from Win2K. Mac must be working because it can access shares from the PC. So I can argue that nothing could be broken but clearly something is. I have many years experiance with UNIX but have avoided PCs and PC networking.
    Anyone have a list of things I can check?

    Hi C JAbertson, check the logs in /Applications/Utilities/console see if they provide any clue to why.You are using SMB://rabbit/wsfiles/ format in the go to window? Have you got SMB enabled in Directory Access?
    Cheers.

  • Can't add CIFS Share from iManager on OES

    The source of the CIFS issue is the cluster snapin.
    The CIFS functionally is included in the cluster snapin for cluster
    services version 1.6 (NetWare 6.0) and 1.7 (NetWare 6.5).
    Unfortunately, with Cluster Services 1.8 (OES and NetWare 6.5 SP3),
    Novell dropped the CIFS functionality from the cluster snapin. So when
    you install an OES/NetWare server, or when you install SP3 to an
    existing Server, you will loose the CIFS snapin.
    Note that reinstalling SP3 will not bring you back the CIFS
    functionality as it is actually the cause of the disappearence.
    To get back the CIFS functionality, you have to get the NCS 1.7 cluster
    snapins. The latest version of these snapins can be found in NW65SP2 in
    the file NCS.ZIP. Unpack these file somewhere and use the files NCS.JAR
    and NCSRES.JAR from this ZIP file to replace the corresponding files of
    your ConsoleOne installation.

  • Cannot access CIFS shares from Windows 2008R2 on NSS3000

    Hi,
    I am trying to upgrade our 2008 domain to 2008R2 but with that last version we cannot access to cifs shares on the NSS3000. Access from all other clients are OK. It was 100% OK under 2008...

    It is likely to be an incompatibility between Windows 2008R2 smbv2 and the NSS3000 smbd but I can't find any firmware update and I can't find the process to allow in the registry.
    I can ping it, I can connect on the web interface, I can connect on FTP but no CIFS at all.
    Firmware version running is 1.20.1. Hardware rev : V03.
    Any idea?

    Hi SpaceBass, have you looked into sharepoints or into Netinfo manager. I have been playing around with sharepoints and it does let me enter non local users into the sharing prefs- albeit manually. Only thing is , depending on the number of macs you have, it could be a long and tedious job entering it all by hand. Netinfo may have an easier way, I'll do some more digging and post back.
    Cheers.

  • Random error accessing CIFS shares from Windows

    I am setting up some CIFS shares to be used from Windows clients and in the process I had some random problems accessing the shares.
    In hope of finding the answer I checked the CIFS Service and the Active Directory Service, and while watching the screen for Active Directory Service I saw that the "Selected Domain Controller" changed from one to another. I now stayed within this screen and noticed that the "Selected Domain Controller" continued to change and then I found the problem, because an unknown Domain Controller appeared. The IP was 216.150.17.8
    I found that when ever this Domain Controller was the selected one, all access to CIFS shares from Windows clients failed! This is correct, because the 216.150.17.8 of course is unaware of all users in Our Domain
    So the Questions are:
    - what is happening?
    - and how to solve this?
    - why is a Domain Controller 216.150.17.8 sometimes the Selected Controller?
    - where does this 216.150.17.8 come from?
    Have You seen anything like this?

    I now have found out why the DC changes - it is because the CIFS service is restarting ;-(
    This is a log snip
    2009-5-14 09:24:53 Executing start method ("exec /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd start").
    2009-5-14 09:24:53 Executing stop method (:kill).
    2009-5-14 09:24:53 Stopping because all processes in service exited.

    2009-5-14 09:23:34 Method "start" exited with status 0.
    It seems to happen when I access the share and thereby force a uservalidation
    Any ideas?

  • Error Referencing Old CIFS Shares

    Previously I used to use CIFS to connect to my shares on my NV+, but I've switched to AFP.
    For some reason, something in Lion is still trying to get the CIFS shares and so when I open random applications such as Garage Band and others that use the media inspector to let me browse audio and picture files, I get an annoying error pop up that won't go away unless I close down the application. I'm trying to figure out where this old share is being referenced and how I can remove whatever reference there is so I can quit getting the pop up errors.
    The system log shows this when I get the error...
    10/11/11 3:09:22.142 AM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to nas-mccordnet (CIFS)._smb._tcp.local/pictures, syserr = No such file or directory
    Is there a file that references these shares that I can delete or edit?

  • Failure of ACL setting for CIFS share resource on Windows client logined with administrator account

    Hi,
      We accounter a puzzle of ACL setting for a CIFS share resource. In our application, we use the
    administrator account to login a Windows 7 OS which is used as the CIFS client. We can access the share resource by "\\server_ip" on  this CIFS client,  but we can't add
    a new ACE to the ACL of a CIFS share resource provided by a CIFS server.
    Why dose this hanppen? Note that the CIFS server maybe a Windows OS or a self-developed CIFS server. 
      The operation details as followed:
    1.Access the share resource by "\\server_ip", login the CIFS server by a valid account on the CIFS server.
    2.On the Windows client, select the "Security" panel in the mouse-right-button properties dialog of a cifs share resource.
    3.To add a new ACE for someone eg. user0, we input "user0" in the "Select Users ans Groups" dialog popped up.
    4.Click OK, but the Windows client will not get the user information for user0 from the CIFS server.
    WHY?
    5.By wireshare network trace, we find the Windows client didn't send any SAMR requests to the CIFS server.
    6.Restart the Windows client OS and login again with another account except administrator, carry out the above operations. We find that the Windows client can get the user information, opposite with the step 4 above.
    WHY?
    7.By wireshare network trace, we find that the Windows client has sent SAMR requests to the CIFS server to get user informations. But that is different from step 5,  WHY?
    If the Windows client OS is login with administrator account, is there any configuration on Windows client to decide whether request user information on CIFS server when setting ACL for CIFS share resource?
    Expect your help.Thanks.
    Best wishes.

  • CIFS share authentication is slow

  • Cannot mount multiple CIFS shares in /home

    I have 2 users, Joe and Fred, who each have their own directory in /home.  I also have a Netapp filer with a CIFS share called CorpData, which has subdirectories for Joe and Fred.
    On the Arch Linux box, I have this for my fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    # /dev/sda1
    UUID=d93def89-7611-43c8-a74f-e20bee64bd7e / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1
    //10.1.1.141/CorpData/joe /home/joe cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=joe,gid=users 0 0
    //10.1.1.141/CorpData/fred /home/fred cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,noserverino,_netdev,uid=fred,gid=users 0 0
    The problem is that at boot time, Joe's directory will be mounted, but Fred's will not.  The reverse is true if I reverse the two entries in fstab.
    If I issue the "mount -a" command after logging in, the second mount does get mounted, but also generates this error message:
    mount error(16): Device or resource busy
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
    I did refer to man mount, but since only the second mount is failing, I don't know what I could try differently.  There are many more directories in CorpData, so I don't want to just mount that entire share on /home.

    Looking into this further, it seems that the server is not able to accept the second request so quickly after the first.  Is there any way to insert a delay or sleep command between the two mount entries in fstab?

    Hi Mary and Matthew
    You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
    You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
    I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

  • Unable to access CIFS shares using SSL Web portal

    Hello,
    i have deployed Cisco Clientless Web VPN on my ASA5515.
    I'm having an issue when I try to browse a file server (access CIFS shares) from the WEB VPN portal.   I am prompted for login, and after logging in  I get the "Error contacting host" immediately. it's seem like a bug on ASA ? i saw that on Cisco Web site : bug CSCsl94183
    I already DONE those things :
    1- reload the ASA
    2- upgrade to the latest software release
    3- test different web browser ( Firefox, IE, Chrome)
    1- ASA Platform is 5515 running  latest software release (9.1.4)
    2- File  server running Windows 2008 R2
    3- Clients is using Firefox.
    4- When I establish SSL VPN connection using Cisco AnyConnect I  have no problems accessing files or folders on the same server.
    NOTE :  I have 2 other CIFS server running  Window 2003 and there is no issue.  the issue is happening ONLY  with the server running Window 2008 R2

    I've also seen this exact problem. We have several Windows 2008 R2 servers, one of our Domain controllers has been migrated to 2008 R2. I can access shares on the Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, but not a deicated (member) file share server.

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!

  • [SOLVED]Setting up Arch to read CIFS shares but no smb.conf

    I am trying to ACCESS CIFS shares from another computer. Other clients can access these shares without issue. I am NOT trying to host files from Arch.
    Reading I have done: wiki pages on SAMBA and SMBCLIENT.
    Reading the SMBCLIENT wiki page, it apparently states that only the package smbclient should be installed, which I did.
    But, following the SMBCLIENT wiki, it shows to issue:
    #smbclient -L
    #smbclient
    both error saying smb.conf can not be read. BTW, is the -L to just list the shares available from any place?
    Questions:
    1. So, should smb.conf be created to use smbclient? This package evidently does not install smb.conf in any form.
    2. Does the SAMBA package need to be installed to use smbclient? Samba does install a smb.conf.something.
    Any tips you have so I can read CIFS shares will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    steve.

    Reporting my results at resolving my issues
    1. installing smbclient provides the described ftp-like environment while accessing CIFS shares. It works fine. I used
    $smbclient //OMV/steve -Usteve%omv
    to access my share on the OMV server. I could list, get and put files. I still get the message about no smb.conf file but it works.
    2. Installing gvfs-smb package allowed Thunar to display the shares. In my case, I do a Ctrl-L and then smb://OMV/steve and I can display the shared content perfectly! Click to remember password or it apparently does not work.
    Hope this helps someone.
