SLES 11: CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -6 (in messages)

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Networking

Hi there,

by checking /var/log/messages I found error:

CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -6

Google was not helpful. Seems to be a bug on a different Distribution / different kernel but not on SLES-System.

Is this a know issue?

Best wishes

Whilst your subject line says “SLES 11” which Service Pack and patch
level are you using? Please post the output from “cat /etc/*release”.

HTH.

Hi,
same problem for me
[COLOR="#FF0000"]“mount error(1): Operation not permitted”[/COLOR]

cat /etc/*release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 3
LSB_VERSION=“core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-x86_64:core-4.0-x86_64”

/lib/modules/3.0.101-0.47.55-default/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko → CIFS dont work (after updating server with SMT)
/lib/modules/3.0.101-0.47.52-default/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko → CIFS was OK (before updating server with SMT)
