I need some help here. I am trying to mount cifs (Windows DFS, which is a cluster of two exactly identical machines) to my ubuntu 16.04.01.
I have good success with the mount itself, what I am doing is a permanent mount adding the following in the fstab:
//servername/sharename /mnt/filestore cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
which is working and I have no worries mounting this. The issue comes up when I am testing the fail over between the two servers. If I kill the machine with the active session between the Linux and my DFS share, the Ubuntu starts trying to restore the same session instead connecting to the other Windows server.
Example:
If ubuntu is 10.10.10.10, fileserver1 is 10.10.10.11 and fileserver2 is 10.10.10.12. Ubuntu has a running session with fileserver1, which I kill, now Ubuntu (10.10.10.10) is trying to restore the session with fileserver1 (10.10.10.11), instead connecting to fileserver2 (10.10.10.12).
Any help/advice is appreciated.
