When I mount linux/windows samba shares with smbmount (command line or with komba2) I have this kind of error : [thomas@Daemon / ]$ cd Dance\ \&\ Techno [thomas@Daemon Dance & Techno]$ ls Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address cbff0000 *pde = 00031063 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<cc9f9c34>] Tainted: P EFLAGS: 00010246 eax: 00000000 ebx: 8c8691be ecx: fba0e3fd edx: c6f4f5fa esi: cbff0000 edi: c74bbe28 ebp: c74bbebc esp: c74bbde8 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process ls (pid: 1910, stackpage=c74bb000) Stack: 00000000 00000000 00000000 c85d26c0 c83445e0 00000254 000072a1 00005555 00000000 00000000 c7402000 0000000e 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000010 c74bbe8c 0000001f cca00728 c989fa40 c79fe000 cc9f8461 c989fa40 c74bbfa0 Call Trace: [<cc9f8461>] [<c0141b90>] [<cc9f9451>] [<c0141b90>] [<c0141690>] [<c0141b90>] [<c0141d3f>] [<c0141b90>] [<c0130001>] [<c0106f23>] Code: 8a 06 89 c2 c1 e8 04 c1 e2 04 49 46 8d 14 1a 01 c2 83 f9 ff Erreur de segmentation The problem is that the processus (here ls, but the same happened with xmms or konqueror) turns itself into the 'D' mode. A kill -9 with root privileges will not kill him. umount -a -t smbfs will not work (device busy) even if i try the force option. When trying to reboot ('reboot') mount warns that it can't unmount the mounted filesystem (device busy) and it hangs. I am forced to use alt+sysRQ. Has anyone ever had this problem ? Can this be related to the original mount program I use ? For the moment I am forced to use smbclient ... damn I'm on linux 2.4.18 - mandrake 8.2 I had this problem with samba 2.2.3a and i switched recently to 2.2.4 but the same problem still occurs (on the same shares !!).
