[Bug 1451067] Re: -smb option requires full path for Samba sharing to work

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.

If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  -smb option requires full path for Samba sharing to work

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This issue has been reported on qemu-devel a looong time ago:
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2005-12/msg00141.html

  QEMU version 2.2.1-4 on Arch Linux x86_64

  Steps to reproduce:

  host$ mkdir share
  host$ chmod o+rwx share
  host$ qemu <other options> -smb share

  vm$ smbclient //10.0.2.4/qemu -N
  smbclient: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
  Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.2.1]
  tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
  vm$ poweroff

  Workaround:

  host$ qemu <other options> -smb /full/path/to/share

  vm$ $ smbclient //10.0.2.4/qemu -N
  smbclient: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
  Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.2.1]
  smb: \> ls
    .                                   D        0  Sat May  2 19:57:31 2015
    ..                                  D        0  Sat May  2 19:57:31 2015

                961302540 blocks of size 1024. 637557248 blocks available
  smb: \> quit

  Please, please fix this gotcha, whether in the documentation or in
  code. it can cause some serious bouts of hair-pulling.
