I'm seeing this problem in Ubuntu 8.10 (LTS). I see that /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab are out of sync with regard to CIFS mounts.
I'm running mount.cifs and umount.cifs from a non-root user, but /sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs have been modified using "chmod +s ..." Googling indicates a problem in umount.cifs that is known to the Debian and Samba communities: that the umount is succceeding, but failing to update /etc/mtab. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461048. That report also refers to https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4370 - apparently this is fixed in the Samba master codebase. I'd like to know if this is fixed in a later Ubuntu version; i.e. will upgrading fix the problem for me? ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #461048 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461048 ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #4370 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4370 -- Cannot unmount a windows network share. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
