To whom it may concern, I am using linux kernel 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64 (RHEL6) and cifs version 4.8.1. Using a mount point (/mnt/tmp), we are able to read/write to our Windows directories. Occasionally, a user will kill a job that is writing to these directories. When this happens, it corrupts the mount point somehow and we get a permission denied error when we do an ls.
If I do an lsof and grep for the path, I get a message: WARNING: cant stat() cifs file system /mnt/tmp It seems that if I am able to successfully unmount all of these mount points, that I can do a mount a and recover. However, how can I avoid this problem in the first place (besides having the user not kill jobs)? It seems like this is something a user should be able to do without bringing down the mount points.
