Processes that access a share from a remote machine hang if the connection goes away. I'm using FBSD V5.4 and mount_smbfs. This can be replicated by the following sequence:
1) Share a file system from a remote Windows machine. 2) Mount the share using mount_smbfs 3) Start a tar() command to copy the data from the windows share. 4) Unplug the network cable from the windows box The ps() command shows that smbiod has a stat of SL (sleeping and waiting to acquire a lock) and the tar() process stat is D (uniterruptable wait). If you kill smbiod, the FBSD system hangs and has to be rebooted. Is there any workaround to this issue?
