Unknown NtStatus error returned 'STATUS_FS_DRIVER_REQUIRED'

I know there's already an issue #242 but I didn't want to pile onto an old thread. I've run into the same issue. I'm trying to run code like like this:

import smbclient
smbclient.ClientConfig(username=self.username, password=self.password)
smbclient.makedirs(network_path, exist_ok=True)

and I was getting an error:

[Error 0] [NtStatus 0xc000019c] Unknown NtStatus error returned 'STATUS_FS_DRIVER_REQUIRED':

In my case, the server is a NetApp filter running cluster mode. And the problem is a share level setting. When it's set to this:

Symlink Properties: symlinks_and_widelinks

it errors, and when it's set to this:

Symlink Properties: symlinks

it works fine. The working setting is the default. Just thought I'd pass along the info in case anyone else runs into the problem

Thanks for sharing the information, I wonder if I can setup a NetApp instance without actually paying for it so I can see if there's anything to be done on the client to get this working.

I've always had a physical machine to play with but maybe this might help for a quick test?

Thanks, looks like it may be behind a netapp account (which I am unsure is free to register or not). I'll definitely have a look the next time I'm working on this codebase though. Appreciate you sharing this information.
