A Linux/UNIX client is trying to mount a NAS cluster
solution share using SMB (using /etc/fstab or directly
using smbmount).
A Linux/UNIX client is trying to access the file system
using the smbclient command, such as:
smbclient //<nas>/<share> -U user
%password -c ls
It is recommended that you use the NFS protocol
interfaces to access the NAS cluster solution FluidFS
systems from Linux/UNIX clients. To workaround this
issue:
1. Ensure that your admin creates NFS exports to same
locations that you use to access using CIFS and
connect to them using mount command from Linux/
UNIX clients.
2. Use NFS based interfaces to access the NAS cluster
solution. For example, from the NAGIOS Linux
management system, use the /check_disk
command instead of the /check_disk_smb
command.

credentials on their nfs calls. As a result, files created
from these clients, by any user, are owned by 4294967294

To force UNIX credentials on NFS calls, add the sec=sys
option to the NAS cluster solution mounts in the Ubuntu
fstab file.
All NIS, LDAP, or DNS servers are unreachable or not
responding.
For each server:
1. Ping the server from a client on NAS cluster solution
subnet and verify it responds.
2. Issue a request to the server from a client on the
NAS cluster solution subnet and verify it responds.
3. Check server logs to see what causes the server not
to respond to requests.
