I just received some additional information that I hadn't realized. Our Sles10 server is mounting this area from a SMB server on zOS, and it's that SMB that doesn't support the type "cifs", that's why I can't use it.
Using the mount in fstab with type of smbfs, it works at boot up time. At some point later and I'm not sure how much later, the mount point gets hung up and stops responding, "Device busy". If I try to umount it I also get Device busy. What could be causing this ? Is it better to issue a "smbmount", is there any difference between mounting in fstab with type smbfs or issuing a straight smbmount cmd ?
