I installed Samba under Mandrake 8.2 to access a win98 box. The windows machine has 2 partitions, C: and D:. Now I can mount the //winbox/c partition from within linux and access it without a problem. With //winbox/d, I can access it using smbclient, transfer files back and forth etc. But when I try to mount it, it mounts without errors, however any attempt to access the mounted tree results in trouble (mc segfaults, console dies, etc.). An attempt to unmount it can't succeed as it's "busy". After that linux cannot even shutdown properly, hanging when it tries to unmount //winbox/d. Any ideas? What can I do to debug this problem? Thanks

My guess is that there could be filesystem errors. Thomas
