CENTOS 7.6 - CIFS version issue

Post by kimhansen »

It seems that CentOS 7.6 changes default CIFS smb dialect to something newer and it breaks CIFS backup to some older linux based NAS box targets:

Dec 10 04:20:01 server2 kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
Dec 10 04:30:01 server2 kernel: No dialect specified on mount. Default has changed to a more secure dialect, SMB2.1
 or later (e.g. SMB3), from CIFS (SMB1). To use the less secure SMB1 dialect to access old servers which do not sup
port SMB3 (or SMB2.1) specify vers=1.0 on mount.
It could be fixed by adding vers=1.0 to the mount options, but is it possible to specify this somewhere?

Hi,

As far as I know mount.cifs should be able to auto-negotiate the version, however I am not sure if it's still the case for SMB older than 2.1. If not, then the workaround would be to mount the share with required settings via pre-job script.

Thanks!

[MERGED] Change SMB version

Post by eazaika »

I found some error when tried to backup linux-serv:

Code: Select all

[25.04.2019 15:54:00] <139846953727744> lpbcore| ERR |mount error(5): Input/output error

Our QNAP windows serv use SMB version 1 and this setting cannot be changed. So, how can I change veeam client (v3.0.1.1046) settings for use mounting SMB1?

Hi,

Ability to specify the exact version for SMB is planned for the next versions of agent. For now you can probably stick with the workaround mentioned in this topic.

Thank!

P.Tide, thanks for reply.

Ok, I made new backup by previosly mounting to share folder. But then I want to restore this server by veeam-recovery-media.iso. So, how can I escape mount error on this step (go to Command Line, mount folder and then how can I return to the iso menu)?

Right, you should use CLI to mount the share with custom options. To return backup to ISO UI you need to type either 'exit', or 'veeam'.

Thanks!

In VAL 4.0 there is an option to create repository of SMB type via CLI and specify protocol version via -o (options) key. Please check the corresponding userguide section.

Thanks!

I had the same issue.
Tried to backup to a synology box, however when using cifs-utils it complained about mount operation not supported. (error 95).

Work-around:
In field "Username", instead of just having the username, say "backup", I added the parameter setting the smb/cifs version:

Username:
<insert-your-username>,vers=2.0

After that it worked fine.
