Hello, I have a DS20, that I had been running 5.0, and 5.2 on - but after a few attempts with some audio ports failed, I decided to take a swing at 4.9. I was ok with removing the previous systems and adding 4.9 because I was under the impression that the more stable 4.9 environment would have better sound card support, and allow me to use smbfs. The sound issue never was resolved, and I've decided to play my streaming internet radio games via i386 machines, but I still have no smbfs support, and attempts to add it via the ports collection simply result in the machine telling me that all versions since whenever have smbfs support built in. I did some research in the news groups, and have added the following lines to my KERNCONF: #options SMBFS #options NETSMB #options NETSMBCRYPTO options LIBMCHAIN options LIBICONV however, as you'll notice, it won't compile with SMBFS, NETSMB, or NETSMBCRYPTO added, and I had to comment them out. when I try to load an smbfs share off one of the Win2k servers, the following happens: worx# mount /archive/backup/webgate1 smbfs: vfsload(smbfs): No such file or directory worx# this is working off an fstab entry: //backup@webgate1/www /archive/backup/webgate1 smbfs ro,noauto 0 0 other attempts have the same result: worx# mount -t smbfs //backup@webgate1/www /archive/backup/webgate1 smbfs: vfsload(smbfs): No such file or directory worx# mount_smbfs //backup@webgate1/www /archive/backup/webgate1 mount_smbfs: vfsload(smbfs): No such file or directory worx# I was under the impression that smbfs could either be a part of the kernel, or load the smbfs.ko module when called on - is this incorrect? As I stated, this is a Compaq/DEC DS20 Alpha machine, with 512mb ram, currently running 4.9 Release. My situation is that I have this machine nearly by accident as my employer got it for a software product they never used. The machine was given to me with 2 tape drives installed, and I'd like to also use it to backup the machines on my home network. However, I am unable to back anything up as I can't mount the smbfs shares directly, and porting them over from i386 machines via NFS has proven to only provide one level of files and no subfolders. On a side note, I've tried a SBLive, Vibra16, and AWE64 in this machine with every possible kernel addition, and attempts to use a soundcard have generally resulted in lockup - if anyone has any tips on that, feel free to drop me a line - at rjv@weblinkmo.com - however, this smbfs issue is obviously the one I'm more concerned about resolving. Under 5.0 I had used sharity to mount the windows shares, and I'm willing to try that again, however I would like to do my best to use what is supposed built in to the system itself before I make additions. Any help is appreciated - thanks. Richard J. Valenta Note: The information contained in this e-mail message, including any attachments, is legally privileged and confidential.
