John Hewitt johnblade at gmail.com writes: What distro are you using? Samba version details? Hmm, I can see that it would indeed cause you a mess - especially with the symlinking. Whilst I can't give you an answer to your question I can ask for a few more details regarding the version numbers of your linux machine. Hopefully some other samba god will be able to help you. Anyhow all I can offer is to try and manually unmount the share when your on the linux box and you know the windows box is down. Sometimes if umount doesn't work, you can try: umount -f John, Thanks for your reply. I am using Samba 3.0.0-15 on a plain vanilla fedora core-1 system with all optional components that came with the distro installed. Any other ideas? It seem that, given what I am reading so far, having Linux mount via smbfs is very dangerous thing to do. Seems odd?

[Samba] Re: Smbmount for Solaris 8?
I see that smbmount is for Linux only. smbmount relies on kernel support for the smb filesystem which (to the best of my knowledge) isn't in Solaris. I believe you can use smbclient to copy files in an FTP-like fashion. The smbsh function works nicely on Solaris 8. You run smbsh, it prompts you for your login and password for the PDC and then gives you a shell prompt. The shell is taken from $SHELL by default. You can then cd to /smb and begin walking around in your SMB network like a regular directory structure. -- Robert E.

[Samba] RE: smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt
Hi, Thanks Urban for all the info. It was really of use to me especially since i could do without smbmnt and smbumount. Sorry for the delay in my response. Could you please send me the patch you have used to reduce the footprint of smb clients. I beleive that will really be very helpful for me. Also regarding the codepages i have some more query. 1. Since some other components in our embedded system needs codepages, we have enabled the code pages in the kernel. 2. We have however not enables the CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT. So smbfs should not be using any codepages. 3. I have nothing in my smb.conf for the codepages. ( IS there any way to disable codepage use in the smb.conf?) 4. However when i run my client i still get the errors i had previously reported. WHat might the problem be? Once again thanks a lot for your time and advice.

The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. smbmnt is linked with libsmb even though it doesn't use anything from it. It is possible to make it much smaller by editing the makefile. I have a patch if you want. smbmnt exists to allow parts of the code to be setuid root for normal user mounts and is run by smbmount. smbumount is only needed if you need normal users to mount and umount things. root can umount with the normal umount command so you could just remove it. smbmount only uses a few parts of libsmb directly, but there are a lot of dependencies between different parts of libsmb. Also whenever i choose SMB_FS support in the Kernel configuration, i am forced to choose the NLS. Do i really need it? How can i do without it? Also If you don't enable any of the kernel codepage modules, nothing extra will be built. If you don't enable CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT then smbfs will not use any nls code. the smbmount demands codepage.850, codepage-def.850, unicode_map.850, unicode_map.ISO8859-1 files. I have not provided the same in my embedded development environment.
