I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a few hours now, but google searches are coming up empty. I have 3 Linux boxes all running Suse 9.1 and samba 3.0.2a. The 3 systems are: Novi - the samba server Newberry - mounting novi Sagola - mounting novi This work great, until "mount -a" is run. Each time mount -a is run, we get another mount of novi. When I type "mount", I get the usual /, /var, etc... mounts, and then the following: //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) //novi/pub on /novi/pub type smbfs (0) I've also seen this behavior on our redhat 7.3 system when it mounts a windows XP system. Does anybody have any ideas? Is there a doc that I missed that covers this very thing? Any help (even a "Read the bloody man page here!" is appreciated.

[Samba] Same share mounted multiple times - unwanted
I sent this to the list a while back, but never got a response. So, I figured I would throw it out there again and see if anybody had ideas. Thanks!
