Title: SMB Error During Boot
Post by: rajesh.bahl on September 18, 2007, 04:44:01 PM

Dear all,

Need your help in resolving an issue:-

We were using Fedora core 2 server since last two and a half years. Recently we have installed new server machine (IBM) and installed CentOS 4.4 on it. The name of the server has also changed. The problem is that the linux clients ( again running CentOS 4.4) give following error during boot ( it seems that they are still trying to search the old server):-
Connection to <old_server> failed
SMB connection failed.

How can I rectify the problem ?



Thanks In Advance

see /etc/fstab,
most probably your old clients are configured to mount remote drive. See if address of the server needs to be changed there.

Thanks Ricky !!

I have already changed the name in client's /etc/fstab.

Strangely even if I comment out this entry in /etc/fstab, the error still appears.
