Is there any Linux distribution/flavour where access by file manager works with SMB/CIFS connection and can authenticate?

GNOME on Ubuntu 24 fails.
Dolphin KDE/KIO on Debian 12/13/Testing fails.

And now?

Wondered why my images folder is so huge. Turns out there's a hidden .recycle folder used by Samba/CIFS to act as network level trash bin. You know… in case someone deletes something from a network share by accident.

So all the time I was freeing up space on purpose I ended up with an additional copy on the remote fs 😩

* I use the F-Droid app SMBSync2 to backup my images from the smartphone automatically to my local network share.

We have a set of #CIFS #DFS servers in Europe and in America. The clients in Europe expect to automatically mount on the European DFS server, the ones in America in on the American DFS server.

Which works fine on Linux servers joined to the domain, using mount.cifs. If you define everything correctly that is (ad_site in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf, the networks in AD etc).

And still we had Linux servers being slow and getting data from the European DFS server, while others stayed on the American DFS server.... Unmount and mount didn't resolve it. Wireshark showed "Yes it tries the American one... And then moves to the European one!".

At the end, it was a DFS caching issue on the Linux servers: /proc/fs/cifs/dfscache showed the target to be to the EU server.

echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/dfscache, then remount, and all was fine again!

Another check in #nagios !

#FritzBox #Wireguard #CIFS

Falls mal jemand damit Probleme hat, könnte es helfen, auf den WireGuard Einstellung der FritzBox die Option für NetBios zu aktivieren.

quicktipp #107: On modern Linux you don't necessarily need Samba to create a SMB share. The Kernel now has its own SMB3 server (KSMBD).

Note: This needs a kernel >= 5.15 and compiled with CONFIG_SMB_SERVER. Ubuntu 24.04+ ships it.

If you are in Red Hat land: This is currently disabled in Fedora and EL10 (for EL9 the kernel would be too old anyways), so you'd need to build kernel + usermode tools yourself.

W świecie usług są takie, które przewidziane są do publicznej ekspozycji oraz takie, które nie powinny być widoczne „ze świata”.

A question for systemd users:

I have a --user mount unit for a cifs network share. The unit fails with an error that there is no corresponding entry in fstab. I thought mounts were supposed to be a sort of hotplug for fstab ?

I have very little experience in this so I may be totally off the mark. In this case, any reading/links you could point me to would be very helpful.

A quick mount-on-login has turned into a typical systemd nightmare T_T
