when trying to mount a windows share I'm getting

jcombs_31 · 07-21-2005, 04:48 PM

3360: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnomem (Insufficient server memory to perform the requested function.)
SMB connection failed

Code:

mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.102/backup /mnt/backup -o username=jeff

I can view shares with konquerer just fine, what gives? System should have plenty of memory. This worked fine yesterday and nothing has changed.

Did you by any chance, rebooted (or turned off the Windows machine) without unmounting it first on Linux? If my memory doesn't fail, that caused me a problem like yours.

I think my memory is bad

well, the drive that was mounted is an external drive with a share on windows and I think I turned that drive off and unplugged it, so how would I go about fixing this?

I don't remember now if I had the same problem that you have, but try, before turning off and unplugging the drive, unmounting it from Linux (you'll have to try this next time you boot Linux).

If that wasn't the problem, try editing the Windows registry like that link suggests.

I'll try it later when I get home, but seems kinda rediculous to have to edit the registry for this to work again.

I'm not sure if I get the correct picture here, but since my possible solution is so simple I'll give it a shot anyway.

I got the same (or similar?) error while trying to mount a w2k share on my Slack laptop using samba. Simply rebooting the w2k box solved it.

Please forgive me if I'm off topic here, that means it tie to start the weekend!

Cheers, Leon.

do umount /mnt/backup -l to make sure your box knows it's unmounted. then try to mount it again. if that fails, i guess it couldn't hurt to reboot windows since it appears to be low on memory. i had to install w2k yesterday, and it rebooted itself at least a dozen times while installing and putting on other programs and updates. it seems to be what windows does best.

I appreciate the effort to reply, but pointing out to restart my computer isn't much help. I both unmounted the share and rebooted both my windows and linux boxes before posting here, obviously that didn't work.

well, it's not really so obvious since you never mentioned either rebooting your linux machine (which you shouldn't have to do in most cases anyway) or that you properly unmounted it before turning off your share drive.

the other solutions i've seen from doing a quick google search all have to do with editing the windows registry to fix the ipstack, which someone else also mentioned and linked to. here's another one, with a big "Solved" in the title:

did you try that yet?

You're right, I guess I should have mentioned it, I'll try the registry edit later and let you know if it works.

The registry edit fixed the problem.

RcS2000 · 01-04-2006, 06:48 PM

The regedit-fix worked to me as well, but the correct path is:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters

The key to be changed is named:

IRPStackSize

and should be changed from 11 (0x0b) to 15 (0x0f) or 20 (0x14)

THX and greetings.
