Dear all,

  I'm having a problem with smbmount and could you please kindly help ?

  I'm desperately searching a smbmount config equivalent to NFS "soft" mount option, 
but I cannot find any.  

  I'll smbmount a Windows share as smbfs on a Linux box. I hope remote file access 
requests sent from smb client can timeout if CIFS server is down. i.e. I don't want 
the r/w file access to hang forever is CIFS server is not responding. I know in NFS, 
the mount option "soft" could do it. Is there any way to achieve it for smbfs/smbmount 
?

  BTW, Windows share needs to be mounted in real time, instead of Linux boot time. So 
possibly I could not put it to /etc/fstab.

  I'll appreciate any help from you..

Sincerely yours,

yanping
