Mounting Samba share from jail | mount_smbfs: kldload(smbfs): Operation not permitted

Hi,
I need your help.
I'm starting with jails and can't find solution.

smbclient -U user -I 192.168.1.2 -L //Skaner
Showing list of shares - looks fine

Trying to mount:
Code:
# mount -t smbfs -o username=user //192.168.1.2/Wspolny /mnt/Wspolny
mount_smbfs: kldload(smbfs): Operation not permitted

/etc/jail.conf (host)
Code:
exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
exec.clean;
mount.devfs;
path = "/jails/$name";

domena {
        jid = 1;
        host.hostname = domena;
        ip4.addr = 192.168.1.13;
        interface = em0;
}
domena2 {
        jid = 2;
        host.hostname = domena2;
        ip4.addr = 192.168.1.14;
        interface = em0;
}
allow.raw_sockets;
allow.mount;
allow.mount.zfs;
#allow.mount.devfs;
What I'm missing ?
 
jail(8)
Code:
allow.mount:  privileged users inside the jail will be able to mount and unmount file system types marked as jail-friendly.
The lsvfs(1) command can be used to find file system types available for mount from within a jail.

Code:

Ability to mount smbfs appears after loading the module. Sad but smbfs seems as unsupported inside jail.

mount_smbfs: kldload(smbfs): Operation not permitted
This looks like a fail to load kernel module 'smbfs' from jail. This behaviour is correct.

Try to load it at host (not it the jail) using command kldload /boot/kernel/smbfs.ko
After that try to mount smbfs inside the jail. In case of success - you may require to load module smbfs at boot.

If you need to load this module at boot - add next line to /boot/loader.conf
Code:
smbfs_load="YES"

Workaround: try to mount smbfs from host system direct to jail.

Thank you for your help.

I did it, and now I have next problem. After:

mount_smbfs -I 192.168.1.2 -U user //192.168.1.2/Wspolny /mnt/Wspolny

I get:
mount_smbfs: can not setup kernel iconv table (ISO8859-1:tolower): syserr = Operation not permitted

I have question for you, did you try setup Samba AD DC (include dns, time server, dhcp etc.) in jail - it's possible ?
My goal is to quickly and easy recover all services after hardware failure. FreeBSD, jails and snapshots looks perfect for it.

I found this thread:

There SirDice suggest to not doing it inside the jail.

What is the best practice to backup all system settings and recover it on completely different machine ?

Now I'm working with Debian (host) where I have VirtualBox VMs (one vm with Samba AD DC and other with Radius). It's working but I'm thinking to migrate everything to FreeBSD.

Run kldstat, check loaded modules like 'iconv'. They may be loaded with smbfs module.
Try to set character sets for mount_smbfs. Read mount_smbfs() about option '-E cs1:cs2'.
Code:
root@a3.com:/root# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
1   18 0xc0400000 140b888  kernel
10    1 0xd0bfd000 20000    smbfs.ko
11    2 0xc8f28000 5000     libiconv.ko
12    2 0xd0bf5000 3000     libmchain.ko

dhcp in jail - it's possible ?
DHCP require network broadcast. It is impossible or very dificult with jail.

I have never been used samba as AD. I have no experience in this case
I am expect that samba AD in a jail may work.

Linked thread "samba in jail" seems as true.
SirDice talk about 'problems with broadcasts', but AD may work without broadcasts.
Services like DNS, TIME definitely runs in a jail.

What is the best practice to backup all system settings and recover it on completely different machine ?
gmirror, pax, pax over ssh, rsync, rsync over ssh.
 
just to check: you are aware that mount_smbfs only supports SMB version 1 and not version 2 or the recommended version 3
