Samba: Value too large for defined data type

[PROBLEM]
In a bash script, I was using "mountpoint" to check if target directories were properly mounted or not.

After an upgrade from kernel 2.6.26=>2.6.32, and upgrading Samba to 3.2.5-4lenny11, it didn't work anymore, and I got the following errormessage when using "mountpoint":
mountpoint: /mnt/xxx: Value too large for defined data type
[SOLUTION]
Thanks to an article about Samba Troubleshooting in ArchWiki, I've added the options "nounix" and "noserverino" to the entry in fstab, like this:

Code: Select all

//hostname/share /mnt/xxx     smbfs   noauto,user,nounix,noserverino    0 0
