SMBCLIENT PROBLEM

2000-03-13 Thread Vicente Torres

I use smbmount-2.1.x to access Windows NT file systems
from other computers in the net.
Sometimes the connection gets lost and I get the following message when
I
try to list those directories:

bash-2.02$ ls /net/XXX
ls: /net/XXX: Input/output error
bash-2.02$

If I try to mount again the net directories, smbmount-2.1.x says:

Could not resolve mount point

and the only solution I know is to restart my potato. After restart
the connections are available again.

How can I restore connections without restarting?

I can only suggest you that upgrades your kernel to 2.2.x and install,
after do it, the last smbfs package that replace the smbfsx for 2.1.x
kernels.

After the two updates (kernel and package) all runs ok now. Try it and
good luck!

And your mount point isn't visible, although you can cd to it?  I've had
the same thing happen (although not lately). 

What I do is:

/etc/init.d/samba stop

  then:

/etc/init.d/samba start

then it works as advertised.

As root you can
# umount /net/XXX
then smbmount will work fine for the next mount.

As someone else has noted, the potato versions work much
better (though I still get this problem occasionally).

Try umount the partition (even if the mount appears to have failed) prior
to trying smbmount again.  I get the error you mention if I try smbmount
and have a problem in password authentication.  umount then smbmount seems
work for me.
