similar to: mounts hanging during shutdown of system

Using 2.2.1a and a 2.4 kernel patched for win4lin. Everything is working but: I mount all the available network shares on my linux box as root to one network directory. If a windows client shuts down while the linux box is still connected, the share is not removed from my mount list or from /proc/mounts It cannot be removed with umount. I can kill the smbmount with kill -15 but the share is still

Naturally, you tinker around with stuff long enough and you break it. I am running Samba 2.2.2 on a Corel linux box and am attempting to connect to a share on a windows XP system. At one point, this was working fine. Then I spent time trying to reconfigure my kernel so that I could attach a floppy tape drive and now I can connect with smbclient to the share, but I cannot with smbmount. I have

All of our user authentication is done via LDAP. We have an all Linux backend and tons of windows desktops. We've just started getting a few people to move to Linux on the desktop. Is there any way that I can have their home directory automatically mounted via Samba when they log in? Thanks, Jason Joines Open Source = Open Mind ========================

Hello, I have a RedHat 7.3 workstation and have created a samba mount to my samba server. Everything seems to be working ok, but when I reboot my RH workstation the mount is not reestablished. I believe the problem is that when I reboot the machine the samba share is not unmounted. After rebooting the machine when I run smbstatus on the samba server it indicates the mount is still active.

here's how i mounted a shared folder: #mount -t smbfs -o username=me,password=psw,workgoupt=kppo //har-file2/new-gp /samba/k-drive and when trying to un-mount using umount /samba/k-drive or, smbumount /samba/k-drive I get this message: 'device is resource busy' Any idea why i can' unmount this? please reply to all, thanks!

Greetings. I wrote a script that make remote backups with rsync. I have 2 main problems with it 1) I want that the destination directory (on the repository machine) recreate the backed up file path and it permission (I use -R here ) 2) Is there a way to "follow" all the links using -R and -a parameters..?? Currently I am using something like this. rsync -al --delete

can someone send me an example of a fstab entry for a samba mount-point? Also, how can I use the user option so that any user(and not just root) can mount and umount?

I have a Redhat 8.0 box with many external connections. Several nfs and 3 samba. Today I tried to reattach to one on my mounts and I am geting "Could not resolve mount point /mnt/dir". If I do an ls -a I can see the dir, but when adding the l option to ls it does not show up. fuser returns for the dir, Input/output error I apologize if this has nothing to do with Samba, but I am

Good afternoon all, I have a few questions, and just joined the list and plan on staying. I had 2 Samba servers at work, both running apache, etc, that we develop on from work and at home over a vpn. My vpn upload speed is 25K, and at one time windows 2000 could save a document in less than 4 seconds from across the vpn using textpad. We recently downgraded our crappy 7.1 redhat versions to 6.2

Can't mount share on my linux boxes as a regular user. I have no trouble mounting shares as root. This problem occurs on both my linux boxes. All the commands I show I have run as a regular user. Here is all the data I have: smbmount \\\\JHAMMER6\\public /mnt/NetWork/JHAMMER6/public/ -o debug=6 mount.smbfs started (version 2.0.7) Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() -

I am trying to create a samba mount to be mounted automatically on a Redhat 7.2 machine. I can mount the drive from the command line, but would like to have the drive mount on boot. I have added it to /etc/fstab, and get prompted for a password when I run mount on it from the command line. I know it is possible to pass the "password" option, or the "credentials" option to

In commit ea455f8ab68338ba69f5d3362b342c115bea8e13, we move the dentry lock put process into ocfs2_wq. This is OK for most case, but as for umount, it lead to at least 2 bugs. See http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1133 and http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1135. And it happens easily if we have opened a lot of inodes. For 1135, the reason is that during umount will call

Hello, all. A while back I posted a question about an issue, but did not get any replies. I understand this might not be something anybody has a definite answer for, and I understand I may not be offering the right information. If that is the case, please let me know what information I can provide, and please don't hesitate to offer any suggestions about what could be causing this problem.

Implemented the suggestions. Also, moved the ocfs2_orphan_scan_init() to the end of ocfs2_fill_super() instead of calling it earlier in ocfs2_initialize_super(). Sunil

My problem appears to be too simple to be addressed in the documentation, being a linux-to-linux problem. This is a mixed home lan, but the majority of file sharing is done between three linux boxes. All three have a public directory, but the one on box1 is mainly used for file sharing. All of this worked well with our old Samba 2 setup, but has now gone to pieces. Two of the boxes are

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen a weird problem in one of my clients. The reported that when issuing a smbmount command (both client and server are CentOS 4.4), it would take up to 30 second for the mount to complete. To make a long history short, by using strace and the source, I noticed smbmnt is first calling mount() using ascii options for *data. Then that would
