I used to mount some files via Samba which resided on a windows machine on a CentOS box. We moved the files to a NetApp filer, and I was unable to mount those files using either Samba or CIFS. Most of my problems with Samba were related to the (Windows?) password encryption scheme that has not been included in the Samba suite.
Even if I use the mount t cifs, it didn't work.
So on the NetApp filer, we switched the volume to NFS only (having the volume as both NFS and CIFS also didn't work, strangely enough), and I was able to mount the volume.
Fine. But now the complaint is that the files are case sensitive, and doing searches for a particular file is problematical.
For the case sensitibity, use of cifs would be better. You indicated some sort of a password problem. How about this article? It says "sent by Ralph Angenendt" (yes, a main CentOS member).
