Yeah, you're right. all is fine now. My mount and umount commands were using the right local/remote switches and all. The problem what that there was still one user that had cd'd into it. I missed it. I had to call around to make sure that there were no users sitting on the shares or mount points. I have found that when this is true, you are not allowed to umount.
I guess, what I was thinking is beyond the 'having' the wrong commmands. It's fine now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathanael Noblet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 2:03 PM Subject: Re: (clug-talk) mount command doesn't want to work - How to deal with? > > On Tuesday, January 14, 2003, at 01:59 PM, J.
