CIFS support

[JOCKYW2001]

I'd like to mount a CIFS share, but can't select it in network options. Only NFS is shown and the Type option is greyed out.

I'm compiling my images from current CVS.What's missing?

thx, JockyW

Looks like your Image misses the cifs-module. Maybe you compiled the kernel without "CONFIG_CIFS=m".

There should be a file "/lib/modules/2.4.27-dbox2/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.o" on your dbox.

You're right, my modules/kernel dir has no content
The 2.27 kernel config is okay tho. Seems that something got screwed in the build after the upgrade from 2.25 to 2.27. The cdkroot dir still has 2.25 kernel modules directories which has the fs dirs. But they're not available in the 2.27 dirstruct. Don't know why. Will try another time to build the kernel.

The old modules directories won't get deleted until you manually "rm" them, but this is no problem (actually it's a good thing[TM]) since the kernel looks in the appropriate directory.

If you upgrade the kernel to a new version you should

make driver-clean

in the CDK directory before rebuilding the drivers to set up the dependencies correctly for the new kernel. If you fail to do this strange things may happen.

BTW: CIFS is compiled into the kernel for the CDK-configuration and as modules for the image-configuration (there are two kernel-configs).

Thanks to both of you:) Got it all sorted out now

goodnight, JockyW
