Volume mounts in windows does not work

Docker Desktop
85

Hi,

I have tried everything in this thread, but my mounts still don’t work.

In particular I tried and ensured:

  • Firewall is disabled, no other firewall installed
  • Created docker user in Windows, multiple times, with various 8-char-only passwords
  • Made sure docker has access to shares in Windows sharing permissions
  • Tried to mount as docker, photon\docker, 10.0.75.1\docker
  • Tried with different volumes
  • Tried with my personal a@b.c login I use for my Windows machine
  • Made sure SMB1 sharing is enabled
  • Tried lowering SMB security from AES128 to DES(?) [forgot which one, there was on option I found some days back and tried …]
  • Enabled file sharing for public and private connections
  • Reset & re-installed Docker multiple times, also reset credentials.
  • Made sure I can mount C:, D:, E: from Mac OS via Finder
  • Rebooted about 20 times, and tried on about 5 different days over the past weeks and Docker versions.

In fact, the problem has persisted and never worked since the very first release, and is still present with 1.12.0-rc2-beta16. The host is Windows 10.

A typical Docker log extract looks like this:

[14:41:43.817][SambaShare ][Info ] “D” is shared
[14:41:43.817][SambaShare ][Info ] Challenging credentials with host
[14:41:43.836][SambaShare ][Info ] Challenging credentials with host succeeded

[14:41:43.851][Cmd ][Info ]
[14:41:43.851][Cmd ][Info ] The command completed successfully.

By ‘does not work’ I mean the typical behavior others described: For example in the basic Alpine, folders I try to mount via docker are just magically created in MobiLinux, but do not reflect anything actually residing on my hard drive.

If I log into Hyper-V Manager, open the MobiLinuxVM and try

mount.cifs //photon/e /media/xxx -o user=docker

I receive an:

mount error(112): Host is down

I don’t know if that’s related or not, but clearly the host is up (e.g., reacts to ping from same VM), and I can also mount the same Samba volume from, say, OSX.

Any suggestions?
