2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 and DFS

[cmpetty]

After the most recent kernel update my cifs mounted shares, which requre DFS are no longer accessible

I've always followed the guidelines here, which are all still in effect:
http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific6/docs/webdav.shtml#cifs


Directory is mounted correctly:
[petty@dirac ~]$ ls ~/net/munin/data/
Adcock BIAC Daemon DeBellis

However, i am unable to view anything within the sub folders:
[petty@dirac ~]$ ls ~/net/munin/data/Daemon/
ls: cannot access /home/petty/net/munin/data/Daemon/: Not a directory

If i mount the share directly, i can access the data:
[petty@dirac ~]$ ls ~/net/munin/daemon/
ALIVE Backup Archive Salvage.01

If i switch back to the previous kernel 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64, things work as expected.

Has anyone run into this, or have any ideas?

It seems that the latest kernel (2.6.32-220.2.1) breaks several things.
If you look around the forum you will come across several postings: broken sound, hybernation problems, problems with Tftpd and network issues. In all cases a fix was to revert back to the 2.6.32-131 kernel.

Some of the problems have already been reported towards Red Hat.
So if all goes well we might expect a new/fixed kernel in time...

Thanks, i definitely saw those, so i thought i would post up.

I was hoping that since CERN uses DFS and is also a SL developer someone would've run into the issue and possibly have a solution.

You might want to try the SL mailinglist. SL devs are mostly over there
They do not offer "official" support on this forum (which doesn't mean they read here too).

done, thanks.
