Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2022 20:52 Post subject: Cifs bug?
I´m on the latest version from April/22 but noticed also on the version from 20th of Feb 22 that I not able to access all subdir. I get I/O errors.
If I navigate via telnet to the mountpoint of the smb-shares on the router, all directories are accessible.
I use RaspberryPI to mount the cifs and rsync for backupreasons. There I faced a lot of read errors.
If I try to navigate or cp those directories (cifs-mounted) they are not accessible
Same on my ubuntu-notebook. I mount the smb shares via cifs to the systemdisk. When I acces them, I get an errormessages too.
When using Dolfin and access the smb shares direktly, everything is fine.
Nearly 90% of the cifs (Directories) are read/writeable without any issues.
Obviously its a nice addition since as you noted ksmbd doesn't advertise its services by default. So its a thumbs up here for implementing it.
However the advertising isn't necessary (advertising is for automatic display without user interaction afaik) as long as the share is working, one could still enter the explorer and add the path to the share on the address bar to see the share displayed, or am I wrong in this assumption? I dont really use DD-WRT for this, so hence that brain fart.
The issue that I have is that my WDTV does not give me the option to manually enter the path. I don't know why this was done this way, but it is what it is, hence why I need automatic discovery to work. _________________ Google is Spyware
While it appears the network share seems to be working my WDTV isn't detecting any smb shares. It did detect one, then I disabled and re-enabled file sharing, and now it's not detecting anything.
I opened up wireshark to see what's going on, it appears there aren't any replies happening (it did work for a time with the laptop, but it stopped replying after disableing and re-enabling file sharing).
One other interesting thing I noted: the source net for the dd-wrt mdns response appears to be some ipv6 address? I'm not sure this is an issue with the mdns implementation on dd-wrt, or if the wdtv just has a very old/picky mdns version installed. It shouldn't matter to my mind since it's a relatively old and robust protocol. Still, the fact that nothing is answering its mdns request is weird to me.
I'm going to keep digging, apologize for rambling, these posts are also my notes. _________________ Google is Spyware
