Troubleshooting and Error Messages
Troubleshooting cifsmount or mount in the HP CIFS Client
Chapter 6 97
After you verify that the CIFS Client DLKM state is unused, you can use
the following command to change the CIFS Client DLKM state to auto,
so the CIFS Client DLKM can be loaded. The command and output
message display are shown as follows:
$ kcmodule cifs=auto
* The sutomatic ‘backup’ configuration has been updated.
* The request changes have been applied to the currently
* running system.
Module State Cause Notes
cifs (before) unused auto-loadable,unloadable
(now) auto explicit
The auto state will enable the CIFS Client DLKM to be dynamically
loaded when the first cifsmount or mount command over the CIFS share
is performed.
How to Do if You Encounter the Error Message:
“Device Busy”
You may encounter the “device busy” error message when running the
cifsmount or mount command to mount the CIFS filesystem. To resolve
this type of error, check to see whether the CIFS filesystem mountpoint
is tied to any process by running the fuser -fu mountpoint (see
fuser(1M)) or cifsclient fuser [-v] mountpoint command against
the given mountpoint and each of its subdirectories. This is useful for
determining which processes are accessing the mount, in the event that
mounting fails with a “device busy” message. Terminate these
processes tied to the mountpoint, then invoke the cifsmount or mount
command to succeed.
