You can always make these scripts avoid running in parallel in the first place, say, using a sentinel file (not under the mount point of course). As to why smbfs (or cifs?) acts this way, good question... On both a local, ext3 mounted filesystem and a remote, NFS mounted filesystem, when I attempt to remount, I don't see any duplicates. But what does /proc/mounts say? It may well be different of what the mount command says, since mount reads /etc/mtab. -- Francis Galiegue, One2team - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ATTENTION : CHANGEMENT DE COORDONNÉES !] +33178945552, +33683877875, http://www.one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré - 75116 PARIS -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
