I have the following setup: - Vista Ultimate machine for windows media center (using xbox as an extender) - VMware server 2 (latest beta) - Ubuntu 8.04 server 32bits as guest on vmware. On the vista host, I share a directory by normal file sharing. I mount that share on the ubuntu guest, using cifs. fstab line: //media-center/media /media-center cifs rw,uid=walto,gid=users,credentials=/etc/media-center.credentials 0 0 When the vista machine boots, I can mount this share and work with it fine. I use hellanzb on ubuntu to download nzb files. All the downloading is done on the ubuntu filesystem, but the finished files (after par2 and unrar) go to a dir on the windows share, so my media center can pick them up. When it starts copying the data, after a while, I get "cannot allocate memory" errors. So I unmount the share and try to mount it again: no luck. I get the: mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory I have to restart windows to resolve this. And i

mount windows share: "Cannot allocate memory"

Hello Ubuntu users, I'm trying to connect to a Windows XP share from my Ubuntu 9.10 server. I thought this would be rather simple - maybe you can show me it is?? On the Windows XP side, I have created a local user "ubuntu" and given the user Full Control of the share. (btw: the XP machine is a member of a domain) This is how I'm connecting from Ubuntu: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.153/websrv01_logs /media/bio171_websrv01_logs -v -o username=ubuntu and this is the error I get back: mount.cifs kernel mount options: unc=//192.168.2.153\websrv01_logs,ver=1,rw,username=ubun tu,ip=192.168.2.153,pass=******** mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) I see this when running dmesg: CIFS VFS: cifs_read_super: get root inode failed Help, please!

Cannot mount windows share

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: April 11, 2011
We have a home network with Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu computers. We also have a "slug" seen by the Windows and Mac computers, but for some reason the Ubuntu computers cannot see it. They could see it a few years ago, but when we updated to 10.10, none of the Ubuntu boxes could see it. When we try to connect using the bookmarks we originally made, for example, we get this error..."Could not open location smb://slug/platypus/ Failure to mount Windows share." Not sure what do about his as I am still quite the neophyte. Would appreciate any help.

[SOLVED] mount.cifs Cannot allocate memory OR Remote I/O error after data transfer

location: linuxquestions.com - date: June 18, 2014
I have started to experience a very odd problem with mount.cifs. In fact it might be not a problem with mount.cifs itself but with Windows 7 machine which actually share resource/dir. However its difficult for me to figure out that. (Its also difficult to choose right sub-forum for this case). It is odd that it has started to be happening like this only since yesterday. Here is a story: I have 2 Linux boxes - Slackware 13.37 and latest Ubuntu 14.04 plus Windows 7 box. On Windows 7 I share 1 directory using Windows SHARE allowing to my user have full access / permission (RW) From time to time I mount this shared DIR on one of my Linux boxes to transfer some files to Windows box. Starting since yesterday I have started to experience following problem: After coping some portion of data, I am not able to copy another portion of data or even ls on mounted dir. If I try to re-mount the share I got following errors (note its different for each system): Slackware: Code:

Unable to mount Windows share in Ubuntu

location: linuxquestions.com - date: August 14, 2013
Hello, I have a Windows server 2012 Domain Controller + dhcp + dns fully working (home.ad). I have the latest version of stable Ubuntu server on another machine. Ubuntu is not part of the domain. I have shared one folder from the server 2012 with Everyone/Everyone so it should be visible. The network share is: \\server\TimeCapsule On the Ubuntu machine I have installed smbfs and tried mounting it with no success. There seems to be multiple ways to do this, but none seems to work. I need to map that drive permanently so that I can always access it so I added the entry to my /etc/fstab //SERVER/TimeCapsule /mnt/ntserver cifs uid=1000 user=HOME\Administrator password=gra$$ 0 0 but I just get Line 13 is bad. Big help. Can anyone give us a hand? Thanks

Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory.

All of a sudden, with no reason or warning, my computer can no longer save any photos or even transfer them from the Home Folder to the desktop to be worked on. I'm told: Unable to run plug-in "jpeg" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/jpeg) Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory) And when I try to save an image I worked on before this problem arose it says: Saving '/home/arnica/Photos/2009/02/07/img_0477 (Modified in GIMP Image Editor).jpg' failed: JPEG image plug-in could not save image I made certain I had room left in the hard drive (14gig) and I even deleted several image files just in case they were "taking up room" needed for new images. It didn't help. Any help appreciated... thanks.
