I've been noticing the phenomena described below for a while now and |
2 |
having a little trouble getting a good idea how to debug. |
3 |
|
4 |
If I have mounted shares via smbfs or cifs and something happens to |
5 |
make those mounts unusable, like the machine the shares are on is |
6 |
powered down or whatever, then I have a problem. |
7 |
|
8 |
If I happen to run a `ls' on the directory where the mountpoints are |
9 |
kept (/mnt) or in other ways access those mountpoints, the xterm I'm |
10 |
working from becomes unusable and the command NEVER completes. |
11 |
|
12 |
These particular shares are on winXP machines and are mounted using |
13 |
this syntax: |
14 |
|
15 |
mount -t cifs -o user=MYUSER%PASSWORD //harvey/harvey-g /mnt/harvey-g |
16 |
|
17 |
Attempts to umount the problem shares also results in a hung command |
18 |
and useless xterm. Killing the xterm manually seems to be the only |
19 |
way to stop the hung action. |
20 |
|
21 |
So far I've used the old MS refrain `reboot, reboot, and reboot' to |
22 |
clear up the mounts but I'm sure there is some better way or maybe a |
23 |
way to prevent this from the start. |
