(NT) File sharing between linux and windows

by lewkh Jun 6, 2005 5:18PM PDT

Hi,
I am running the redhat linux 9 and using the command as following to map Windows Storage 2003.
mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,password=<passwd> //<ip address>/share /mntpoint

On Windows site, I just make the folder to be share out ony.

It is successful to map between linux and Windows but recently Windows happen the refuse connection on it when I check the linux host, the mounting still there and once I restart windows then I can read/write file to the directory without remount on linux site(that time still mounting). Before I restart windows, I can't ls the file in that directory on linux, it reply the error message as LS: Stale file handle. but mounting is still there by issueing command mount.

Again the problem happens almost a week a time, it means after I restart windows then a week later I need to restart again, otherwise connection refuge by windows.

Is there any thing I can do in the windows site?Is there any service that I can restart without reboot whole windows OS?

Could anybody tell me what is the happening? Please advise me........

"Is there any thing I can do in the windows site?Is there any service that I can restart without reboot whole windows OS?"

Use the net stop and start command on the services you suspect.

" Could anybody tell me what is the happening? "

You might not have all the service patches. Or you have found something.
