Hello everyone I'm having an issue mounting Netapp CIFS shares after updating linux server to OEL6.6. Currently I have a mount on fstab that reads like this //servername/sharename/subdirectory /mnt cifs username=username, password=secret,uid=user 0 0
when I try mount -a under kernel version 3.8.13-55.1.2.el6uek.x86_64 I get the following error
mount error (2): no such file or directory. Even though that the share does exist I have tested it with a windows machine and I can get to the share. The only way I can make it work under this kernel version is I have to remove the subdirectory and only then will the share mount.
I also tried to load the server with the Red Hat Compatible kernel and when running under this kernel I have no issue mounting to the share.
What I would like to know and if anyone can help me out is do I have to mount these netapp shares differently under the uek kernel? do I need to make some changes to the netapp? any advice or input would be helpful since at this point my only solution would be to run under the Compatible kernel but i would rather run under the uek
thanks,
D
