I mount my win98 laptop directory on my linux box using: smbmount //sushi/doug -c "mount /home/deck/sushi -u deck -g deck -f 644" This works great so long as I don't ever leave the house. If I take the laptop away and then reconnect it, I can neither use the directory /home/deck/sushi (I get "input/output error") Nor can I unmout it or remount it. (I get "cannot resolve mount point" error). So somehow samba gets screwed up when I go away. The only fix I can find is to reboot the linux box. I've tried killing all the samba smbd and nmbd daemons. That didn't help. I'm using samba V 2.05a with smbmount 1.9.18p10 I can upgrade smbmount if this will help. I just grabbed the latest debian smbfsx_1.9.18p10-7.deb package. Thanks, Doug

(I have no idea what that debian package contains, maybe 1.9.18p10 is a misleading name, but it sort of resembles a much older samba version). Anyway, try upgrading to samba 2.0.6 and use smbmount from it, it fixes some smbmount problems with the smbmount daemon dying. That might be related to this. /Urban
