[SOLVED] Delays with cifs share

[butchu]

Hello all,

I have a partition on another samba server, mounted on my mageia machine using a line like this in fstab:

//server/share /mnt/here cifs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.where,uid=501,gid=501,_netdev,users 0 0

This used to work great on mandriva but, with my new install of Mageia, I am experiencing large delays each time I need to access the partition (from dolphin, or running a simple df from the terminal).

Any idea?
Thanks!

Ok, I think I found the solution.

I had a lot of shorewall error messages in /var/log/messages, indicating connections on port 631 from the server on which the samba share was located. I included the following line in /etc/rules

Code: Select all

ACCEPT  net:ip.of.my.server     fw      tcp     631      -

and restarted shorewall. It seems to be ok now. The line allows all connections on port 631 from the server.
