SMBFS cannot connect

[Doppie1200]

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect with my 250G NAS using SMBFS.
Sadly I get;

ERRSRV - ERRerror (Non-specific error code).
Cannot connect to server (23, Too many open files in system).
Could not connect to server (23, Too many open files in system).

Is the capacity of the NAS overwhelming the SMBFS tool?

The stack size is set to 65535

Any help appreciated.

There is one PC turned on that mounts two shares from the NAS. However it has no files open. My laptop usually mounts the shares too. But that is turned off. The laptop and the PC have no trouble using the NAS simultaniously.

I created an empty folder on the NAS and shared that. Even that share has too many open files according to the Amiga.

It is possible to mount the shares the PC offers using the amiga. But that was not were I was after.

The error prior to the open files messages is suspicious too. Maybe something else went wrong and the errors indicating too many files are open are just nonsense.

Anyone else have had this problem and solved it. I'm not looking forward debugging SMBFS.

Thanks for your help.

The history file tells me it is 1.66

The NAS is a Sitecom MD250
It runs firmware called; NAS-BASIC45, LOADER 68
Whatever that means.

I'll check for an update

Edit: Checked and updated to the latest version. Sadly no change in behaviour.

Thanks for trying.

I have upgraded the firmware but it does not solve the problem. For some reason the NAS acts differently than the PC.

Sometime in the distant future I will try to build this tool on the amiga and hook up a debugger / network sniffer. Then I'll see what the differences are and if I can come up with a fix.

Currenly I'm occupied with a more 8bit oriented project so this has to be shelved for now.

In case anyone beats me to a solution I'd be happy to hear about it.

Thanks for the suggestion but no thanks.

I think it is pretty obvious things are geared towards Win or Mac boxes. Commercially these are the only ones rellevant for the consumer market.

Since my primairy goal was using the NAS in conjunction with wintel boxes I'm pretty confortable with it.

A seperate PC system would be too much hassle IMHO and consumes way too much power.

I'll stick with the NAS and fix the SMBFS if time permits and I still have interest. The Amiga is not that much important to me since it's primairy use is gaming. It does fine without NAS but It would be a nice backup option if it had worked.

No, I haven't. Gave up on it. Even FTP is a hassle. AmFTP and AmiTradeCenter both goof up that. Only Dopus does FTP correctly with my NAS. I didn't bother to sort it out since I do not use my amiga much lately. If you find a workaround please let me no.
