I'm using smbmount-2.1.x (from smbfsx 2.0.3-1) in a slink system with kernel 2.2.9 and some potato stuff. (smbfs is compiled as a module, and CONFIG_SMB_WIN95 is not set.) I use it to mount shares from our NT domain, which generally works fine. However, I have a couple of problems:
1. Sometimes the "connection" gets dropped, so the mount point appears empty, the connection is still present according to df but cannot be unmounted. Re-mounting works but gives a duplicate entry in df output. A smbumount after this remounting removes all entries relating to that connection. 2. Very occasionally (like yesterday) the "connection" goes bad. It no longer appears in df output and if I try to look at or move the mount point I get a message like "ls: L: Input/output error" (where L is the mount point). I have not figured out a way to correct this problem without rebooting, which should only be for new hardware or kernel versions! Anyone else have these problems? Any solutions or pointers, especially regarding the second problem, greatly appreciated. Kevin
