This assumes that no other machine has NFS references to it or you still won't be able to un-mount it. Samba doesn't have such mechanisms show you would have to stop the service. That said any media that you want to share should probably be copied to disk as an image and then loop mounted removing the need to tie up the physical device. Also autofs for media is normally used to allow the local user of the machine access to the physical devices without the need of root access. For remote media access I would probably go with WebDav. Mount it up through the a web server. I haven't tried it but it would remove any external references preventing the media from being un-mounted via autofs. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
