Comment on smbfs and cifs mounts, openSUSE 10.2 by Bruce

“So it was changed to avoid confusion.” Also to help avoid any confusion was installing either a cifs wrapper named “smb” or a tiny script a la:

#!/bin/bash
echo “you probably want to use cifs instead”

wasting hours and hours of people’s time. I wish people thought a little bit before tossing out things other people use.

The problem still exists in 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 … note this is gentoo, Serg.

For me, pci=noacpi doesn’t help. Nor did disabling anything WOL-related from the Windows driver advanced config.

But pulling the power cable (20 seconds or so) before booting linux repeatably works, while booting linux after Windows without pulling power repeatably doesn’t.

I haven’t yet bothered to rollback the windows driver. Nor have I tracked down how to turn off WOL in linux yet.

If, as some claim, their version of the kernel fixes this issue, it would be nice to get the exact kernel version, or better, the version (or patch) of the 8139 driver their kernel sources include.

As ridiculous as it sounds, unplugging worked for me. Probably is the cruder way to make it work, just like wake onn lan. It is definitely related to wake on lan issues.

Thank you for your post.
Recently I faced a soft RAID crash on one of my systems and looked for some more proactive setup. Your article is exactly what I needed.
