Can Samba mount a DFS share, using \\DOMAIN\dfs, rather than \\COMPUTER\dfs?
The following command successfully lists all the shares on a domain controller, the same as \\DOMAIN does on Windows. One of the shares returned is "dfs" which is the root of my dfs tree:
smbclient -U administrator -L domain.example.com | grep Disk
So, I tried to mount "dfs" using the various commands below (errors are in ""), none of which work. Is this impossible, or am I missing something?
The first thing to check is to see if your samba server can resolve domaincontroller.example.com Let me know if it does resolve and we can go from there.
It seems to be a FreeBSD issue rather than Samba. Samba is fine with it, FreeBSD however, is not. From what I can find out, FreeBSD mount (in 6.2 anyway) isn't yet ready for dfs - I could be wrong though.
Are you in a position to help with the FreeBSD side of things?
