I have been having the exact same problem. Windoze clients have no
problems, it seems to be OK when accessing connection via linux
terminal, i.e., ls -l /smb/mnt/point, and fails when accessing via file
manager, both konqueror and nautilus.
It started when I upgraded to FC2 and has caused me to use nfs for Linux
to Linux connections. I didn't get any better with FC3 and subsequent
updates.
I can add some additional information:
Once an SMB mount "crashes" I am unable to umount without -l (i.e.,
umount -l /smb/mnt/point). With out the -l parameter I get a "device
busy" error. Once I do umount with -l, I am able mount and access the
connection (until it fails again).
If you need more information I'de be glad to collect and send debug
and/or log informaiton.
Like Diogo, any help would be appreciated.
