I know this is solved but i thought i'd put my input in. i use SMBFS to mount network shares, but (and this has been happening since i started with ubuntu, 5.10) sometimes it seems to half mount them, and the machine runs really slowly and cant connect and becomes unstable as soon as i try access one. I figured it was because the network hadn't finished loading (i use a manual config). My solution is to not use fstab, but rather a script: /usr/local/sbin/mountall (770) Then in my /etc/rc.local, it runs the script... works like a charm. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
