Smbfs: smbmount does not work

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.1
Kernel: Version 2.2.5

Symptom:

You are mounting a share with smbmount on your linux system. When trying to access it, for example, with ls the following message appears:
ls: /mnt: Input/output error
In /var/log/messages you see the following error messages:
Apr 29 13:04:21 erde kernel: smb_request: result -22, setting invalid
Apr 29 13:04:21 erde kernel: smb_close_socket: still catching keepalives!
Apr 29 13:04:21 erde kernel: smb_retry: new pid=14206, generation=13
Apr 29 13:04:21 erde kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL
Apr 29 13:04:21 erde kernel: smb_request: result -22, setting invalid

Apr 29 13:04:21 erde kernel: smb_retry: new pid=14206, generation=14

Reason:

The smbfs in Kernel 2.2.5 appears to not be functioning.

Solution:

A bug fix for the smbfs module can be found on: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/suse61/n1/kern_smb-2.2.5-0.i386.rpm

The package can be installed with the command: rpm --force -ihv kern_smb-2.2.5-0.i386.rpm
