Try that.

mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=password //ORACLEA/Alfresco /z‍

And you might see mount error

tail -f /var/log/message‍

It's ok…no problem…
But I tried this too…still it isnt working. I'm getting this error.

[root@oracle ~]# mount -t cifs -o user=admin,password=admin //ORACLEA/Alfresco /Z
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ORACLEA/Alfresco not found rc = 134526947
No ip address specified and hostname not found

Any more changes to be made in file-servers.xml ?

1. Is OracleA the PC where you mount the folder z?
2. Has Alfresco started as root user?

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

If I had to guess I would say your probably running samba on the machine as well?

You won't be able to start up samba and alfresco at the same time unless you bound the services to two seperate IP addresses or ports.

Just as a test, try stopping samba and mounting the drive using the same command as above or even

mount -t cifs //localhost/Alfresco /Z -o username=admin,password=admin‍

I tried that…
Still it doesnt work…

Is it a requirement that like in Windows there is Win32NetBios.dll file for CIFS…
But in Linux, there might be such a file..that we dont know ?

Even If I get the name of that file, I can search for it

Are you running samba on the linux server?

What does the following command return?

/etc/init.d/smb status‍

It should in theory say something like:
smbd is stopped
nmbd is stopped

Yes…u r right. I tried to create CIFS server. This time I had started SMB server. This showed error.

But when I stop the SMB server and then try to create CIFS server, I can successfully do it.

Thank you so much…
