Thanks for that..! It gave me enough information to kill the process. In the end it turned out that it was because I was running the cifsumount rather than the umount command. It wasn't until I had umounted the /CIFS that I was able to stop the process.

This looks as if the daemon process is hanging. First try to unmount all Sharity mounts with the system's "umount" utility. Use the "force" switch if available. If the unmount fails, continue anyway. Then kill all instances of the daemon which may be running or hanging. Check with "ps" to make sure they are all gone. If you can't kill them all, there is probably no way around a reboot. But wait 10 minutes before you reboot, it may take a long time until the kill actually succeeds. Then start the daemon again. If unmounting failed during the first step, retry it now. Don't use 'cifsumount', use the system's "umount" utility. Unmounting should succeed now. If you had to unmount anything, stop the daemon and start it again. You should be back to normal now. There is a description of this procedure in the manual. See section "troubleshooting" and "how to recover from a daemon crash". Regards, Christian. -- Dipl.-Ing.
