A bug was just discovered by the Samba team in the Linux mount command.
A delay would result between the call to the mount and the actual mount
when mounting smbfs shares.
mount -t smb //server/share /mnt
ls /mnt
# empty
sleep 2
ls /mnt
# full listing
A new mount has just been released to fix the bug. Perhaps this is the
problem.
Note: I am just taking a stab a this, someone else more knowledgeable
please speak up!
