I am trying to mount a shared windows folder on my debian machine. I have installed smbclient and cifs-utils and then to mount it I enter /etc/fstab and apply the following line

//xx.xxx.xx.xx/Reports /var/www/csv/tmp cifs guest 0 0

Then I run a mount -a and recieve the following error

mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

What could cause this error? The two machines are on the same network and can communicate without problems.

When I try to connect using smbclient I get this

root@foo:/var/log/samba# smbclient \\\\xx.xxx.xx.xx\\Reports
Enter root's password:
Connection to xx.xxx.xx.xx failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)



Additional info:

root@foo:/home/foo# mount.cifs --verbose -o guest //xxxxxxxxxx/Repo              rts /var/www/csv/tmp
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=xxxxxxxxxx,unc=\\xxxxxxxxxx\Reports,guest,              user=,pass=********
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

  • Can you try to mount it with: `mount.cifs --verbose -o guest //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Reports /mnt/` ans share the result – b13n1u Jan 29 '14 at 09:40
  • See my additional info. There is a VPN tunnel between these two machines. Are any ports required to be open? – user3218338 Jan 29 '14 at 09:50
  • Please check with `nmblookup -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` if the share is visible at all. – b13n1u Jan 29 '14 at 09:54
